WGP floor vase with popcorn glaze, hand-thrown, Germany 1960s

A slender floor vase with a strong stage presence: 38 cm high, cylindrically built, covered with a popcorn or crater glaze that shimmers in sandy beige and warm honey tones. The surface looks like petrified sea foam — thousands of small craters in which the light refracts. In contrast, the recessed neck is glazed deep black, creating visual tension in the vase.

On the base, next to the inscription "hand-thrown", there is an embossed coat of arms stamp, as used by smaller South German workshops in the 1960s. The craftsmanship is evident in the fine turning marks on the inside of the neck and in the color gradients of the reactive glaze. With a diameter of 14.5 cm and its slender silhouette, the vase works equally well as a sculptural object on its own or with a single long-stemmed branch or dry pampas plume.
