Mid-Century West German Ceramic Floor Vase (Model 486-38)

A striking example of mid-century West German pottery, this sculptural floor vase brings bold form and character to your space.

Featuring a rich chocolate brown glaze, the piece is accented with a hand-decorated stylised floral motif in deep orange, red and black, framed by rhythmic scroll detailing.

The softly rounded body and integrated handle give it a strong, almost architectural presence, while the textured glaze and raised design add depth and tactility. A true statement piece - equally at home styled solo or with tall branches.
