We’ve just received a new shipment of European art pottery including these West German Modernist pieces, shown above. The largest piece, sometimes referred to as a “floor vase,” stands over 18 inches tall and is decorated with a complex layering of multiple glazes. A crusty, brown top glaze has been scraped-away, leaving frenetic, zig-zagging bolts against a orange and yellow background. The vase would work beautifully as an umbrella stand, amidst a collection of orange pieces, or standing alone—with or without flowering branches.
