Large Horst Kerstan Studio Art Pottery Vase signed & dated 1979 Glazed Stoneware
About the Item
This striking large studio art pottery vase is a remarkable creation by renowned German ceramicist Horst Kerstan, signed and dated 1979. Crafted from high-quality glazed stoneware, the vase showcases an organic, bulbous form with a narrow opening, highlighting Kerstan's mastery in shaping and glazing techniques.
The surface features a rich, multi-tonal glaze in earthy hues, blending deep olive green with reddish-brown accents and subtle metallic speckles. The complex glaze creates an almost lava-like texture with dynamic transitions between glossy and matte finishes, reflecting the influence of both Asian ceramic traditions and contemporary studio pottery aesthetics.
The base is signed "Kerstan 1979," confirming its authenticity as an original work by the artist. This piece exemplifies Kerstan's exploration of form, texture, and glaze, making it a distinctive addition to any modern or mid-century-inspired interior.
This exceptional studio pottery vase is perfect for collectors of mid-century modern ceramics or anyone appreciating the artistry of Horst Kerstan's unique style.
