Ceramic Mid-Century West Germany Handle Vase, Glossy Speckled Enamel, 1960s

About the Item

Ceramic mid-century West Germany handle vase - Glossy speckled enamel - 1960s This piece is characteristic of the West-Germany pottery of the 60s: color, glazed and shape. The enamel is very brillant and luminous. On the last two pictures you can see other West German pieces from the 50s, 60s, 70s available in our store. Signed under the base. Unique piece. Very good condition. The West-Germany ceramics that emerged in the post-war period is marked by two influences. The first Scandinavian, with its elegant, purified and balanced production. The second Italian more colorful and sculptural. The production extends from the 1950s to the 1970s. The works of the 1950s present pastel colors, geometric or biomorphic decorations and graphics. The decorations are asymmetrical. The ceramics of the 60's show more colorful designs with contrasts of browns, reds, oranges and even greens. Geometric patterns borrowed from architecture became more common. The 70's offer pottery with more extravagant shapes, colors and patterns, zoomorphic inspiration takes a large place in the pieces of this period. The pieces were individually glazed which makes each ceramic a unique object. Underneath the base is the West-Germany signature as well as the model number and size. On some pieces, the name of the ceramist and the factory are also indicated. Among the best known are Bay Ceramic, Roth and Scheurich, Bay Contura.
