Unusual Mid-Century West German Pottery Vase – Organic Mollusc-Like Shape

 

This intriguing and unique mid-century West German pottery vase has a distinctive organic form, reminiscent of a mollusc or sea creature, making it a true conversation piece. The rich chocolate brown base colour is partially overlaid with a textured white glaze, creating an effect that resembles frost or crystalline formations. Adding to its striking appearance, metallic gold squiggly lines weave across the surface, with gold accents on the rim and base, enhancing its elegant mid-century aesthetic.

 

The base is marked with form number 7000 and a size number 13, which corresponds with the vase’s 13cm height at its lowest point. Additional markings include an indistinct word in gold letters, a gold letter ‘F’, and the word ‘Foreign’, though the maker remains unidentified. If you recognise this piece, we would love to hear your insights!
