Impressive West German art pottery vase, ca. 1960s. Crackle glaze background with modernist horse decoration. 19 ½” high x 9” wide

Description : This vase was made by Haldensleben, which was previously Carstens, Uffrecht (changed in 1945). That makes it an East German piece. It features a gloss orange with a textured semi-matte brown overglaze. Form number is 3087A with a height of about 10 1/2". (The orange currently looks too yellow in the picture. I'll work on that.)

Description : The form on this one is a simple cylinder, but there's nothing simple about the three-color glaze. The color combination goes past daring but still works. In addition to the color variations, each glaze shows textural differences. The top is a smooth, glossy green with a peel mottling in the color. The middle has a light texture, and the bottom glaze is thicker than the top two with a slight curdling.

Description : This Scheurich vase has an orange-red glaze with black mottling around the top and a bit of black lava with more texture at the bottom. Height is about 7 1/2".

Condition : very good with two minor problems as pictured. There is a pinhead sized glaze flake on one rim (just left of center in the picture) and there is one glaze miss (production flaw) under one rim (brown spot visible in upper right corner of detail shot). The price is reduced to account for these issues. Of course, all our sales are fully guaranteed.

West German art pottery trinket dish, ca. 1970s. Marked “Keramikgarden”. 4.25" diamater, 1" high.

Description : This West German pottery Krosselbach vase is hand thrown and artist signed. The intitials are either CS or GS, but I've yet to confirm the full name. It's dated 1974. Form and glaze show a strong Japanese influence and are wonderfully subtle. In the pictures, the upper glaze looks brown, but it's softer in person. My best description is beige over taupe.

Description : Cortendorf vases are a bit harder to find than most, and this one features an unusual glaze. The dark blue windows are hand outlined in slip, significantly increasing the time spent on each vase. Unfortunately, the corner of one window has flaked off, which is why the vase is in this category. Shape number appears to be 4599, and the height is about 8".

Description : This West German pottery torpedo-looking vase is from the Gramann company located in Römhild. It features an unusual coloring of their classic granite-like glaze. The bottom has the T over R mark for Töpferei Römhild. Date is circa 1960.

Description : This classic mid-century shape was produced at the Otto Keramik studio with the glaze by Otto Gerharz and form by Kurt Tschörner. The glaze is a soft gray and white with the incised lines that were popular at the time. The bottom has the typical felt, and if you went to all the trouble of removing it, all you'd find is a white base.

Description : This West German pottery jug form was made by Roth Keramik and features a coal-like lava glaze over a strong red underglaze. The effect is as if the bottle had been buried long enough to become encrusted. There's a shape number on the bottom, but it's too obscured by the glaze to be legible.

Description : This West German pottery vase is Carstens shape 7061 and features a brown glaze with white speckles and a thick red drip. Although the red certainly catches your eye, this is a vase you have to look at more closely to really appreciate since bright things can distract you from more subtle aspects.

Description : This West German pottery vase lacks even a number on the bottom, but this shape is well documented as an ES Keramik product. The decoration features bands of black and white volcanic or fat lava glaze with smooth white bands air brushed with lavendar, so there is variation in texture, color and form.

This example combines a turquoise glaze that looks like Boch work from the 1920's with a heavily textured black lava, volcanic band that's distinctly mid century. Height is about 6 1/2", and the bottom has the usual felt. No point in removing it (very hard to do) because all you'll find is a flat bottom with white clay. The lava appears more black in person, too brownish in the pictures.

Description : This artist signed West German studio pottery vase was made by Gerhard Liebenthron in 1978. (The date could be 1970 since the number is a bit hard to read, but I think it's 78.) It features a green and black glaze with a textured surface. The result is primitive looking in a way that requires surpising skill. The vase is handthrown. Liebenthron is getting more and more attention among collectors, including museums.
