Scheurich Keramik Tall Conical Vase with Zig-Zag Design No. 520-32

This is a stylish example of a German ceramic vase attributable to Scheurich Keramik. The vase is broadly conical, tapering in to a short neck that flares out to a cup-shaped rim. The interior is glazed in chocolate brown. The exterior is a mottled mustard and brown decorated with three bands of applied white glaze in a zig-zag pattern. The result is mottled where the brown has flowed into it. The base has an unglazed foot rim, revealing the underlying body ceramic to be beige in colour. The centre bears the numbers ‘520-32’ and the words ‘W.GERMANY’ moulded in relief. It has a height of approximately 31.5cm, with a diameter at the rim of about 9.3cm and across the base of about 10.0cm. It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
