French Elchinger Ceramic Vase – Mid-Century Modern Design, 1950s–1960s
This vintage ceramic vase originates from the Elchinger pottery workshop, an important name in French ceramic production based in Soufflenheim, Alsace. Created during the mid-20th century, the piece perfectly reflects the modernist spirit of the 1950s–1960s through its bold form and contrasting glazes.
The vase features a deep, glossy black exterior paired with a bright yellow glazed interior, creating a strong visual contrast. Its sculptural, asymmetrical profile is enhanced by a textured, rope-inspired relief around the lower section, adding both visual interest and tactile depth. The angular silhouette gives the object a dynamic presence, whether displayed alone or as part of a curated interior.
