About the Item
A striking Swiss Mid-Century Modern ceramic vase produced by Ziegler Schaffhausen in the 1950s–60s, attributed to celebrated designer Gustav Spörri.
This hand-decorated vase features a bold painterly design of vertical bands in mustard yellow, moss green, and deep burgundy, accented with expressive black abstract brushwork on a speckled ground. The form is elegantly flared with a pedestal base.
The underside bears impressed and stamped marks: “662”, “1686” and “made in Switzerland.”
Ziegler Schaffhausen was one of Switzerland’s leading mid-century ceramic manufacturers, known for their collaborations with Spörri, whose modernist surface treatments brought an artistic, painterly quality to functional pottery. This piece exemplifies the fusion of fine art and design that characterized Swiss ceramics of the era.
