A wonderful example of classic Mid-Century West German pottery, this sculptural bud vase showcases the warm earthy tones and bold relief decoration that made European ceramics of the 1960s and 1970s so distinctive. Featuring rich mustard and brown glazes with striking turquoise accents, it’s a timeless decorative piece that looks equally at home in a retro interior or a contemporary space.

Perfect for collectors of West German ceramics, Fat Lava pottery or Mid-Century Modern design.
