AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful decorative set consisting of two iconic pieces of West German Art Pottery, representing two of the most sought-after design trends from the golden decades of German ceramics:
1. Run Glaze / Fat Lava style Vase:
Description: Elegant vase with an oval silhouette and a striking glaze transition: a rough, matte sand-toned base contrasting with a glossy blue and metallic black cascading glaze around the neck.
Period: Circa 1970.
Base markings: "W.-GERMANY" and mold number "650 18" (18 cm height).
Condition: Very good general vintage condition.
Dimensions: Height: 18 cm.
2. Organic Modernist/Abstract Ashtray:
Description: An organic-shaped (triangular/teardrop) ashtray from the 1950s. Notable for its hand-painted, abstract relief decoration reminiscent of Joan Miró. Turquoise glaze on the underside.
Period: Circa 1950.
Base markings: "338 W.-GERM." stamped on red clay.
Condition: Good vintage condition. It shows a small chip on one of the cigarette rests (please see detail photos).
Dimensions: 12x13 cm approx.
An ideal lot for mid-century modern enthusiasts and West German pottery collectors. The pieces will be carefully packed individually and shipped tracked and insured.
