42cm x 40cm x 18cm - Helmut Schäffenacker - Vase - Ceramic - XL disc shape

Monumental studio ceramic vase by Helmut Schäffenacker, created in the 1960s to early 1970s. The extraordinary, disc-like shape with minimal depth and broad body deliberately crosses the boundary between functional vessel and sculptural object. Characteristic are the vertical incisions and irregular ridges that give the surface a strong plastic tension. The earthy brown, iron, and ash tones emphasize the archaic expression and make the firing process visible. Unlike the well-known serial wall reliefs, this is a rare free-standing studio ceramic, likely made as a unique piece or in very limited editions. The vase exemplifies Schäffenacker's mature work and its placement within European post-war studio ceramics, comparable to international positions of the period. An expressive collector's item with a museum-like character and high presence.

The vase has no chips or cracks. External contaminants cannot be removed with water and a cloth.

The goods are wrapped in padding film.
