About the Item

This vase was made by the well known Walter Gerhards of West German in approximately 1960 in the period Mid-Century Modern Style. The vase is composed of pottery with pierced decoration around the top and both raised and incised decoration around the sides and base. The vase is done in a vibrant purple glaze with mustard yellow and blue accents in a matte finish. The vase is clearly identified on the base as "Made in W. Germany" with the model number 2270/16 which identifies it as made by Walter Gerhards. This is likely a studio piece, given the unique combination of decoration and glazes used.
