This is a stylish contemporary ceramic flower vase by Scheurich Keramik of Germany.
The vase is of classic form, with a short rim leading immediately into the barrel-shaped body. The upper part of the vase has a smooth but slightly matt finish and is glazed in subtle ombré tones of pale blue, magenta, salmon pink and green. Below this, the body is decorated in a textured ‘lava’ glaze in a stone shade pitted with rusty orange.
The base is unglazed and is impressed with the Scheurich logo, the words ‘SCHEURICH MADE IN GERMANY’ and the numbers ‘551 – 18’. This dates it to after the German reunification in 1990.
