AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The dark lava-lava (lava texture) relief lies perceptibly on the smooth cream fields, with amber-orange glaze in the arches. An East German vase from VEB Haldensleben (attrib.) with form number 3046, 15 centimeters tall. Two bands of waves and arches wrap around the shoulder and frame the glaze like a drawing in lava. A compact piece that holds the gaze and lends its warm colors to the room.

Description:
A shoulder-shouldered vase with a short cylindrical neck and a low foot in orange-brown glaze. Around the shoulder run two bands of thick, granular relief in dark gray: above waves, below arches. The fields in between are smooth and cream, with amber-orange accents. The interior is dark. Form 3046 belongs to the 30xx series, which also includes the Haldensleben forms 3045, 3090 and 3092.
About the maker:
VEB Haldensleben is the continuation of Carstens Uffrecht, founded in 1845 by Jacob Uffrecht. After World War II, the Carstens family lost their factories in East Germany; in 1945 the company became the state-owned porcelain maker VEB Haldensleben. The vases have more subdued colors than those from West Germany, such as the cream and amber of this piece. After 1990 the factory returned to the family, as Carstens Keramik Rheinsberg.
In the interior:
On a wooden sideboard, in soft evening light, the amber-orange draws the eye to the relief.
