Ceramano
Ceramano arguably produced some of the most inventive and appealing glaze and pattern combinations (or ‘decors’) in West German ceramic design from the 1950s-70s.
The Ancient inspiration was furthered with the use of a textured creamy-brown glaze, with the motifs being demarcated using a resist and sgraffito. The form of this piece is also based on Ancient examples, but was also ‘on trend’ for the 1960s, when jug vases were popular.
West German Pottery
This mid-century West German pottery exemplifies the WGP era's distinctive design aesthetic. Its tall, narrow neck and matte black finish provide a sleek, modern appearance. The hand-painted geometric patterns add a vibrant contrast, showcasing the craftsmanship typical of West German ceramics from the 1950s to the 1970s.
To maintain its excellent condition, it's advisable to display the vases in a stable environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will help preserve its appearance.
