Thomas Thunig (German), tall studio pottery salt glazed bottle vase, c1990
Size: 36.5 cm tall. Condition: Excellent condition, no chips cracks or restoration. This tall chimney-shaped vase is a lovely example of Thomas Thunig’s fluid and characterful salt glaze pottery. It is well marked with Thomas’s personal mark as well as that of the pottery. Thomas runs the Topferei Thunig in Saxony, Germany producing a wide range of hand made pottery, but his key work is in salt glazed stoneware, following the tradition of the German potters of the 15th to 18th centuries. This vase is thrown in two pieces in the grey clay typical of German salt glaze ware and decorated with bands of cobalt slip before firing, which have produced different effects on different faces depending on the kiln drafts. Thomas used to come to the UK to sell his wares at ceramic fairs and festivals, but this no longer happens.
