the three vessels exemplify kuch's signature style, which reflects the duality of her technical and artistic training, combined with the principles of the bauhaus school.

a turquoise vase-jug with a gently flowing, slightly transparent glaze, whose subtle color modulations are typical of kuch's experimental work from the late 1970s. The subtle gradient effect is achieved through thinly applied, multiple-fired layers.


dimensions: h: 12.7 cm d: 10 cm

a light, cream-colored vase-pitcher with a matte finish, reminiscent of kuch's early stoneware period. The fine iron dots, the restrained color palette, and the use of glaze thickness as a decorative element allude to nature-inspired, japanese-influenced aesthetics.

a plant pot with a beige-brown glaze and a decorative, hand-drawn wave border. This type of archaic-looking, sculptural linework is frequently found in klett's work from the late 1970s and 1980s, a period in which she increasingly experimented with graphic elements.
dimensions: h: 11.4 cm d: 13.4 cm

together, these three pieces showcase the breadth of kuch's ceramic research: from understated, almost nordic-inspired natural tones to subtly nuanced color gradients, always underpinned by a calm, functional design language. Each vessel is an independent object, yet together they form a harmonious, collectible set with a high degree of aesthetic coherence. This piece has an attribution mark,
