Type: Sculptural Vase / Studio Pottery. Material: Stoneware / Ceramic. Style: Brutalist / Modernist / Abstract. Color: Black / Charcoal with raw clay highlights. Finish: Matte & semi-matte glaze. Artist: Unknown (stamped maker’s mark on base). Era: Mid-Late 20th Century approx. 7-8 inches at widest point. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Bold and highly sculptural vintage studio pottery vase featuring an architectural, Brutalist-inspired form. This statement ceramic piece is constructed with multiple tubular vessels joined together and accented with raised geometric and circular appliqué details, giving it a strong tactile and industrial-modern presence. Finished in a deep charcoal/black glaze with intentional raw clay exposure, the contrast highlights the hand-built nature and texture of the work. The form evokes modernist architectural shapes and organic structural elements often seen in mid-century and late 20th-century studio ceramics. A stamped maker’s mark appears on the base (see photos), though the artist has not been identified. Height: 18 inches. Width: 7-8 inches at widest point. (see photos with measuring tape). Very good vintage condition with no visible cracks or chips. Minor glaze variation and surface irregularities are consistent with handmade studio pottery and part of the artistic intent. This is a substantial, eye-catching display piece – ideal for modernist interiors, Brutalist décor, or collectors of sculptural ceramics.

An exceptional, substantial example of 1970s Brutalist studio pottery. Standing at 33cm tall and weighing a solid 3kg, this is a heavy, high-quality “statement” piece. It perfectly embodies the raw, organic aesthetic of the Mid-Century Modern movement, featuring a rugged “volcanic” exterior that offers incredible tactile and visual depth. Design: Aesthetic?

The Interior: A striking contrast is provided by a smooth, vibrant green glossy glaze, a signature “surprise” detail often found in premium studio work from this era. This large-scale sculptural pitcher features a thick, hand-built handle and a sturdy, unglazed base, making it ideal as a standalone floor vase or a centerpiece. Specifications? Height: 33 cm? Weight: 3 kg (Solid, heavy-set stoneware) possibly west german manufacture. Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
