All the vases with the same model number manufactured at scheurich have the same dimensions, but have many types of glazing and patterns. Strong colors and lava-type glazes were typical for scheurich during the 1960-70’s. This ceramic vase from w. Germany, model 414-16, is a mesmerizing piece of artistry that captivates the eye with its hypnotic glaze. The vase features a rich dark brown glossy glaze with varying nuances of brown, creating depth and dimension. Overlying this base glaze is a cream white thick glaze adorned with turquoise blue pigments, cascading down from the top of the vase to about two-thirds or more. The interplay of these glazes results in a diluted lighter brown hue on top, transitioning into a striking blend of white, turquoise, and brown in the middle. The delineation where the cream white glaze ceases to flow creates a decorative frontier that can be distinctly felt by hand.

With its handle adding a practical and aesthetic touch, this vase is not just a functional piece but also a work of art that one can admire for a very long time.
