About the Item

Rare handmade ceramic vase with minimal abstract graphic decor of beige and blue glossy glaze spiral on complex grey semi-matte background glaze was designed in 1950s by Siegfried Gramann for Töpferhof Römhild. The vase is signed on the bottom with handwritten T over R, and marked with the original foil manufacturer sticker on the side on the vase. Töpferhof Römhild is located in Thuringia, Germany; it was founded in 1720 and operated as a family-owned business until it was nationalized after World War II in East Germany (then GDR). Siegfried Gramann became the director and the manager of the company in 1948. Gramann's work had an unmistakable character, and his attractive designs were commercially successful, making Topferhof the leading company of East Germany's "Artisan Ceramics" product group. Over the course of his life, Siegfried Gramann would receive numerous awards for his artistic, ceramic, and entrepreneurial achievements.

Lee Levy Multi Spouted Vase, American Studio Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage ceramic bud vase features sculptural multi spouted shape and stunning textured drip glaze in earthy, organic brown palette. The gradation glaze color and abstract graphic pattern of the main decor emphasize the soft, rounded shape of the vase; the use of shades of brown, from dark espresso to mocha to off-shite cappuccino, creates rich and varied, but monochromatic palette that does not overpower the complex form and shape of the vase. The vase is signed on the bottom with LEE, that was Lee Levy customary signature; it is not dated, but the style of the piece is consistent with her Mid-Century Modern pieces created in 1960s-1970s. Leah "Lee" Levy (1922 - 2011) was an established pottery artist based in Upstate New York area. She was born in Pinsk, formerly in Poland, now in Belarus, and moved to the United States in 1929, growing up in Brookline, Massachusetts. She and her husband Irving started their first pottery studio in Long Island, New York, in late 1940s, while training at the Alfred University School of Ceramics alongside with some of the foremost artists and craftsman in America. Since 1946, Alfred University in Alfred, New York was a home for School for American Craftsmen, with the faculty that included Edwin Blanchard Brown, Ernest Frank Brace, Laurits Eichner, Philip Morton, Charles Reese, Ethel Mitchell, Robert Savage, Thomas Mclure, and most importantly for Levy, the renowned ceramists Linn Phelan and Herbert Sanders...
