About the Item

A monumental sgraffito vase designed by Ludwig Klopfer for Kunsttöpferei Johann Lipp, Germany, circa 1950s. This elegant vessel exemplifies Klopfer’s distinctive mid-century modern approach, combining sculptural form with rhythmic, hand-incised decoration. Executed in deep midnight blue with intricate sgraffito patterns revealing lighter blue tones beneath, the surface features a geometric composition of circles, lines, and abstract motifs. The slender, bottle-shaped silhouette adds verticality and presence, making it an ideal statement piece in both modern and eclectic interiors. This vase is part of Klopfer’s artistic collaboration with the renowned Kunsttöpferei Johann Lipp workshop, known for its high-quality studio ceramics.

Large Ceramic Studio Vase by Sgrafo Modern, Germany, 1960s, Mid-Century Modern
By Peter Müller, Sgrafo Modern
Located in Cork, IE
This round bodied ceramic vase had us intrigued from the very beginning! While hailing from Germany in the late 1960s early 1970s this handcrafted piece of studio pottery sets itself apart from the vast majority of West-German pottery through its elegant lines and shape.
