The fine vessel is glazed in impressive hues of brick red, cream white, brown and green. It features a striking modernist decor with stripes and abstract graphic elements. The decor shows influences of the Art deco style. The vase is signed on the underside with the workshop logo. It comes from an ambitious private art collection.

Helma Klett was trained by the renown ceramist Siegfried Graham in Römhild during the 1930s. The ceramist founded her own artistic pottery workshop in the village of Fredelsloh, Northern Germany in 1940.

Helma Klett followed the modernist principles of the Bauhaus as well as traditional design in her work and this duality makes it very interesting. This piece has an attribution mark,
