Dümler & Breiden Mid-Century Modern Spiral Relief Vase – c. 1960–1969

Dümler & Breiden Mid-Century Modern Spiral Relief Vase – c. 1960–1969

Produced by Dümler & Breiden in West Germany during the height of the mid-century ceramic art movement, this vintage studio pottery vase is an authentic piece of European industrial art and retro pop-folk aesthetics. It pairs a rough, heavily textured sand-beige volcanic glaze on its upper flared neck with an intensely vibrant, multi-layered band sequence featuring relief spirals in terracotta red, deep petrol green, and dark chocolate brown. The interior features a striking, glossy saffron-yellow glaze contrast.
This specific iteration is a collectible certified piece of ceramic history, proudly bearing the crisp impressed „102 35 GERMANY” workshop markings directly on its unglazed base matrix. Blending utilitarian charm with mid-century geometric minimalism, this slip-cast vase relies on a heavy, robust clay body with artisan reactive glazing, making it a bold statement piece and a cornerstone addition for collectors of classic mid-century European pottery.
