This is a Scheurich vase, a famous West German Art Pottery piece, made in the mid-century period of the 1960s-70s. It has a yellowish-red color. The lines appear to be a dark, ink-like color rather than black. Scheurich was founded in 1928 in Schneeberg, a town about an hour's drive from Frankfurt, Germany, by Alois Scheurich and Fridolin Greulich as a wholesaler of glassware and pottery. In 1938, the company moved to Kleinheubach, Bavaria, where Scheurich still has its headquarters today. Around 1948, Alois wanted to produce his own ceramics, and in 1954, he closed the wholesale business and established his own factory. Scheurich grew to become one of Europe's leading ceramic manufacturers and continues to produce vases and planters. ✳︎Size✳︎ Height: Approximately 22.7cm Base: φ Approximately 6.6cm Mouth Diameter: Inner diameter approximately 5cm, outer diameter 5.9cm 488g Form: 200-22 As this is an old item, there are scratches, scuffs, and some signs of use.
