Scheurich West German Vase in Brutalist Style, late C20th
A ceramic vase or ewer, the body of upright cylindrical form, the neck very slightly narrowing above the pronounced shoulder towards the galleried rim, a simple loop handle to the reverse, the interior glazed dark brown and the exterior with a mottled brown glaze with geometric relief decoration in a style often termed ‘brutalist’, the base also glazed and with relief marks ‘407-35’ (pattern number plus size in centimetres) and ‘W.Germany’.Although not marked with their name (few pieces were until the later years of production) this vase has all the hallmarks of the Scheurich factory founded in 1954 by Alois Scheurich who had been a partner before then in the firm ‘Scheurich and Greulich’ (S&G) since 1927. While founded later than many of its competitors, Scheurich grew to become the principal exporter of West German ceramics through until the 1980s and beyond, making vases in a wide variety of shapes and designs. This piece is rather more austere than many of their productions and the clean lines of the form combined with the rather stark decoration perhaps make it particularly suitable for a contemporary interior.
