Vintage West German Pottery Mottled Jug Vase – Scheurich 413-20
There is a distinct, textural rhythm to Scheurich’s classic 413-20 form, particularly when finished in this deeply layered, atmospheric glaze. While sharing a silhouette with its sister pieces, this specimen leans away from stark bands and opts instead for a fine, highly complex mottled misting that transitions from a rich, espresso-brown base into a softly textured cream body, before deepening back to chocolate tones across the ribbed neck and handle.
It is a wonderfully tactile, substantive object that perfectly frames the utilitarian German design philosophy of the 1970s. The solid loop handle is seamlessly integrated into the shoulder, striking a precise balance between rustic country pottery and refined mid-century modernism. It is exactly the type of piece that anchors a teak sideboard without demanding undue attention.
Condition:
Presented in excellent vintage condition with the glaze showing its original depth and finish. The unglazed base rim shows light, entirely honest shelf friction consistent with decades of gentle domestic positioning, saving you the absolute misery of handling an artificial, unused object. The interior remains remarkably clean, and the body is completely free from chips, cracks, or structural repairs.
