Product description
The Scheurich model 220-44 is a quintessential example of West German ceramic design from the 1970s. This extra-large, twin-handled vase showcases the bold, expressive aesthetic that defined the era's decorative arts, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of mid-century European pottery.
Crafted from robust ceramic, the vessel features a striking drip glaze technique that layers deep brown over a warm ochre base. The dynamic, fluid pattern ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike. Standing at a substantial 44 centimetres in height, as indicated by the canonical base marking, it carries the original manufacturer's sticker alongside the embossed "W.GERMANY" and "scheurich-KERAMIK" stamps. This specific form, with its classical amphora-inspired handles, bridges traditional silhouettes with modernist glazing methods.
The vase remains in excellent vintage condition, preserving its original glossy finish and structural integrity. The presence of the original paper label adds significant provenance and collector value. The glaze retains its deep, reflective quality, highlighting the tactile nature of the ceramic surface.
A piece of this scale serves as a commanding focal point in both contemporary and retro-inspired interiors. It pairs exceptionally well with natural wood furniture and can be styled as a standalone sculptural object or utilized to hold large botanical arrangements.
