What's for sale?
This is a medium-sized, hand decorated, striped vase from 1960s or 70s West Germany.
The colouring is quite representative of the period, with flowing bands of white and ochre over a green base. The interior is finished with a mid-sheen, dark brown glaze.
It's by the well-known and long-established, German company Scheurich Keramik. They are still operating today, though not in the production of art pottery.
The 1950s to 1970s has become a very collectable period for West German art pottery. This piece is probably from the latter part of that time. It has a couple of faults from when it was made, but the colouring is superb.
