Vintage Scheurich Amsterdam Tulip Relief Vase - Mid-Century Oswald Kleudgen Design (Form 287-22)
£29.95
A classic piece of mid-century modern West German art pottery, manufactured by the prominent maker Scheurich Keramik. Designed by the acclaimed ceramicist Oswald Kleudgen in 1972, this vase belongs to the iconic "Amsterdam" line (frequently nicknamed the "onion" vase by collectors).
Moving away from traditional textured lava glazes, this form features a heavy, folkloric molded relief inspired by stacked tulip bulbs, entirely coated in a rich, high-gloss glossy brown majolica treacle glaze that creates beautiful tonal depths within the embossed details.
T
he base is clearly stamped with the model form number "287-22" along with "W. GERMANY".
