In the mid-nineteenth century, German studios stepped away from the traditional European style of pottery and began forging a new path, leaning into the Bauhaus style of architecture by translating its design methods into their work. The Coarse Studio Pottery Handle Vase is an example of this revolution. Its thick structure signals its handmade provenance, and the speckled texture of the black clay softens the sturdy, industrial look. Pairing well with additional vintage studio pottery vessels in the collection, this rare and beguling object is sure to be a conversation piece.
