About the Item

West German ceramic jug exemplifies the sculptural approach to functional pottery that defined 1960s-70s German studio production. Tapered cylindrical form features horizontal bands of hand-carved geometric patterns including rectangles, squares, and circles, creating rhythmic surface relief. Handle displays complementary carved geometric decoration, integrating form and ornament. Golden brown to amber glaze pools in carved recesses, producing tonal variation that emphasizes the geometric patterning. Production technique involved carving leather-hard clay before glazing, a labor-intensive process characteristic of West German studio pottery workshops. Marked 416-45 on base, following the numbered cataloging system used by numerous West German manufacturers during this period. Shows wear consistent with age and use. Original glaze intact with minor surface variations.
