About the Item
Striking mid-century modern porcelain pitcher vase designed by Alka Kunst, Bavaria, dating to the 1950s. This sculptural piece exemplifies the bold aesthetic of the era with its dynamic, asymmetric form and high-contrast black and white glaze. The sinuous silhouette evokes organic and biomorphic design, reminiscent of stylized animal forms—most notably a penguin or bird-like shape—while maintaining a sleek, abstract presence.
Hand-painted and crafted in fine porcelain, the pitcher features a gloss interior and a matte black exterior contrasted by creamy white elements. The gracefully curved handle and dramatically arched base create a sense of movement and elegance. Marked on the base with the green Alka Bavaria crown mark and the series name "Domino" in gold, confirming its authenticity and origin.
Perfect as a centerpiece, collectible, or decorative accent for mid-century, modernist, or eclectic interiors.
