About the Item
A striking studio pottery vase by Swiss ceramicist Gustav Spörri for Ziegler Schaffhausen, dated 1959. This hand-thrown ceramic vase features a unique monochrome sgraffito decoration of sailing boats, executed in black against a speckled white glaze. The elongated form, slightly asymmetrical body, and expressive handle give it a dynamic sculptural presence.
Spörri’s craftsmanship and artistic approach are evident in the intricate etching technique, creating a dramatic contrast between the dark outlines and the soft, cloudy glaze background. This piece is signed "Spörri, 1959," on the base.
A rare and collectible Mid-Century Modern ceramic work that captures both the artistry and technical excellence of Swiss studio pottery.
