AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Expressive ceramic vase by Helmut Schäffenacker, shaped by the characteristic combination of plastic form and lively glaze effect.
The flat, almost circular body appears decidedly sculptural. On the front, a large relief-like blossom with long, dynamically arranged leaves stands out from the warm brown to rust-colored base. The lighter glaze inside the relief creates a striking contrast and underlines the craftsmanship of the surface.
Particularly unusual is the narrow, rectangular-rounded opening at the top, through which the object, despite its almost sculptural appearance, functions as a vase. The back is deliberately understated and reveals the craftsmanship of the ceramic.
A striking example of German studio ceramics with a strong Mid-Century character and a design that sits between vase, relief, and ceramic sculpture.
Artist: Helmut Schäffenacker
Material: ceramic / stoneware
Decoration: plastic flower embossing or flower relief, partially glazed
Manufacture: artisanal studio ceramics
Origin: Germany
The item is wrapped in padding foil and surrounded by bio-Styrofoam in a double-walled carton shipped via DHL.
