Rare Bauhaus Art Déco Ovoid Vase – Margarete Heymann-Loebenstein (Haël-Werkstätten) – Model 549/B This exceptional piece of German Modernist ceramics is a rare surviving example of the avant-garde Bauhaus movement from the late 1920s. Designed by the visionary artist Margarete Heymann-Loebenstein, it was produced at the renowned Haël-Werkstätten in Marwitz. The vase features a distinctive ovoid "egg" shape with a short, elegant neck, a form highly characteristic of Heymann’s experimental aesthetic. Its hand-painted geometric decoration depicts bold spearhead motifs embellished with crisp white chevrons in a striking cobalt blue and terracotta palette. The cream-toned ground is finished with a sophisticated craquelé glaze, adding a layer of historical texture and depth to the modernist design. On the underside, the vase is marked with the hand-painted model number 549 and the size indicator B. The base also features an impressed number 27, a technical workshop mark identifying the specific artisan. This specific pattern reflects the transition from early Art Deco elegance to the rigorous geometric abstraction typical of the Bauhaus workshops. Pieces from the Haël period are exceptionally rare, as the factory was forcibly closed and sold under political pressure in 1934. Heymann-Loebenstein’s work is celebrated globally and is represented in the permanent collections of the British Museum and the MoMA. The vase remains in beautiful vintage condition, preserving the vibrant pigments and the integrity of the original designer's vision.
