Gustav Spörri Studio Pottery Vase with Sailing Boats, Ziegler Schaffhausen

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.
