Speckled banded vase from Scheurich Keramic

Description

Fantastic mid-century vase from the West German firm of Scheurich Keramik.

Alois Scheurich established his ceramics factory in Kleinheubach in 1954. The Scheurich company became one of the largest manufacturers of ceramics in Germany from the 1950s onwards. Their iconic ‘fat lava’ lamps and vases have become a signature of 60s and 70s mid-century modern design.

Standing 21cm high, this vase has a speckled band on a cream background, fading to a darker brown at the top and bottom. It is finished with a satin glaze. A great addition to any mid-century modern household.

Stamped W.Germany 549-21 to the base.
