He served as Ceramano's artistic director for a period of time (1959-1961) but otherwise little is recorded about him or his relationships with these firms. Many famous Ceramano shapes and decors are ascribed to him: 'Pergamon,' 'Koralle,' 'Minerva,' 'Ceralux,' 'Tundra.' Welling also designed tableware and collectibles for Goebel Porzellan. Hans Welling used wax resist and sgraffito motifs, experimental "fat lava" volcanic surface glazing with lush colors, applied "knob" patterns, as well as dusty and encrusted finishes in an attempt to appear as if discovered in an archeological site. His range was vast and his experimenting with surfaces and glazing incredibly interesting. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century design, this rare find is sure to elevate any interior space. Whether displayed as a standalone statement piece or filled with your favorite blooms, this vase is bound to captivate attention and spark conversation.
