Vintage Bay Keramik Relief Floor Vase - Mid-Century Bodo Mans Terracotta Design (Form 76-40)
£79.95
A monumental and highly impressive mid-century modern West German art pottery statement floor vase, manufactured by the renowned Bay Keramik factory. Designed by the celebrated ceramicist Bodo Mans, this large Form 76-40 vase features an imposing architectural silhouette defined by a wonderfully flared, wide rim and a matching tapered base. The central body is heavily molded with Mans' iconic folk-art-inspired relief panels, displaying repeating bands of geometric circular medallions and vertical ribbed details under a beautifully uniform, matte terracotta-ochre glaze.
The base is exceptionally crisp and well-marked, featuring deeply embossed stamps for "BAY", "W.-GERMANY", and the model/size form numbers "76 40".
