About the Item
This striking mid-century Küle Keramik vase is a wonderful example of the artistry and craftsmanship that defined West German pottery during the 1950s and 1960s. Crafted in terracotta clay, the piece features Küle’s signature earthy brown surface with a matte finish and subtle horizontal striations that give it texture and warmth. Its form is classically balanced with a softly rounded body, tapering base, and flared neck—ideal for both display and use as a decorative vessel.
The exterior is beautifully decorated with a hand-incised and hand-painted leaf motif, executed in muted tones of green, ochre yellow, and terracotta orange. Each leaf is outlined and filled in with care, creating a graceful sense of motion around the vase. The stylized botanical pattern reflects Küle Keramik’s distinctive aesthetic, which combined organic forms with modernist influences.
This piece is emblematic of the postwar West German ceramic movement, where potteries like Küle, Scheurich, and Bay produced artful, handcrafted works that celebrated texture, natural color, and individuality. Retaining its original foil label, this vase is not only a charming decorative accent but also a collectible piece of European design history, perfectly suited for mid-century, bohemian, or organic modern interiors.
