About the Item

This striking studio pottery vase by Swiss ceramist Gustav Spörri (1920–2016) was crafted for Ziegler Schaffhausen. It features a bold mid-century modern design with an abstract hand-applied sailing boat motif in deep black against a textured yellow-green background. The silhouette is dynamic, with an asymmetrical shape and a gracefully curved handle seamlessly integrated into the design. Spörri's signature style combines expressive forms and atmospheric glazing, making each piece unique. The sailing boats, birds, and sun motifs evoke a maritime theme, adding to its decorative appeal. The sculptural form and artistic craftsmanship make this piece a sought-after collector’s item for fans of mid-century Swiss ceramics.
