Produced before the reunification of Germany, it bears the hallmarks of the era with the numbers 505-11 and "W. Germany" inscribed on the base, ensuring its authenticity and historical value.
The vase showcases a charming blend of colours and textures typical of the 1960s and 70s design aesthetic. The base colour is a deep brown, adorned with irregular thin white bands that add a sense of movement and fluidity. Leaf shapes in shades of blue, yellow, and reddish-brown embellish the sides, creating a striking yet harmonious visual contrast.
In good vintage condition, this vase features a beautiful Kintsugi gold repair on the chips on the rim, a testament to the art of embracing imperfections. The two small Kintsugi repairs enhance the overall aesthetic, complementing the mid-century style with an elegant touch of gold.
This vase is perfect for displaying a small sprig of dried foliage or a posy, but it also stands as a captivating standalone piece of pottery. Its compact size and distinctive design make it a versatile addition to any home décor.
A delightful gift for vintage lovers, this mini vase is a perfect addition to any Scheurich Keramik pottery collection. Its timeless design and historical significance make it a cherished piece for collectors and admirers of mid-century modern artistry.
