About the Item

This vintage West German Scheurich pottery vase exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and earthy aesthetic associated with mid-century European ceramics. The form is elegantly balanced, featuring a softly rounded cylindrical body that gently tapers upward into a stepped collar neck, creating a sculptural silhouette that is both modern and timeless. The glaze is particularly striking, transitioning from a rich chocolate brown at the rim and base into a warm ochre and amber-speckled midsection. The subtle textural variation and natural color gradation are characteristic of German studio pottery produced during the mid-20th century, often inspired by organic forms and kiln-fired experimentation. The underside writing confirms its origin. The interior is finished in a dark glossy glaze, indicating careful attention to both functional and aesthetic details. This piece works beautifully as a standalone decorative object or as a vessel for dried botanicals, fitting seamlessly into Mid-Century Modern, Brutalist, or organic modern interiors. A well-preserved example of West German pottery, this vase offers both collectible appeal and versatile decorative value.
