Two Days Away


West German Modernist Gourd-Form Urn with Crusty Red Glaze by Otto Gerharz for Ruscha (LEO Design)
 

Saint Valentine's Day is a mere two days away.  How about a lovely piece of art pottery for the lovely object of your affection?  This German piece, made by Otto Gerharz for Ruscha, captures the essence of Modernist beauty.  A corseted, gourd-form shape—with two small handles—is a classic.  Indeed, the form looks like it might have been excavated at an ancient archaeological site.  The sensational glaze, however—crusty, dynamic, organic—is pure Modernism.
