Small German 313 Pottery Vase, by Kurt Tschörner for Ruscha 1960s

£240.00
Sold Out

Ceramic Vase with lava finish by Kurt Tschörner.

Bold and whimsical, with an exaggerated handle and forward-thrusting “mouth”, shape 313 was designed by Kurt Tschörner, introduced in 1954 and produced (with variations) until Ruscha closed. The phrase commercial art pottery isn’t quite an oxymoron, but the relationship between commerce and art is at best complex and often at odds. Still, some companies have tried to produce and sell pottery that has aesthetic value beyond the most basic utilitarian purpose. In most cases, companies have found it difficult or impossible to create art pottery that has long term economic success.

Ruscha shape 313 would be a notable exception, becoming one of the icons of West German pottery.

Artist: Kurt Tschörner

Origin: Germany

Period: Circa 1954 - 1960

Dimensions: H15.5 x W20 x D17cm

Condition: Vintage condition
