This beautifully handcrafted ceramic vase dates from the late 1940s and showcases a refined interplay of form, texture, and tone. The body is finished in a soft matte grey glaze that serves as a subtle backdrop to a richly detailed decoration of foliage and leaves rendered in a warm, contrasting brown. The botanical motifs are executed in a raised relief style, adding dimension and tactility to the surface. The craftsmanship is evident not only in the sculptural quality of the design but also in the balance of proportions and the harmonious use of color. Entirely handmade and signed by the maker on the base, this piece stands as both a decorative object and a testament to mid-century ceramic artistry. Its organic elegance and timeless appeal make it ideal for interiors that appreciate natural forms and artisan techniques. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a grouping, it brings a sophisticated, grounded presence to any space. A unique and collectible example of post-war European studio ceramics with enduring visual and material interest.
