Vintage
German pottery adds color and texture to this dining room designed by
Toronto-based interior designer, Shirley Meisels. I love the strong punch of
color and chunky lava-like feel of this group of vases juxtaposed against the
silvery-grey of the wallpaper, chairs and chandelier and the warmth of the wood
table.
Companies
such as Scheurich, Carstens, Ruscha, Baykeramik, Jopeko and Dumler &
Brieden created vibrant, highly-textured “fat lava” pottery vases in both stock
shapes and sizes and unique hand-thrown pieces, throughout the 1950’s, 60’s and
70’s. Although these pieces fell out of
favor after the 1970’s, there has been a resurgence in popularity over the last
few years.
Here
are some German ceramics, of both East and West German origin, that pack a
sophisticated, and affordable, punch:

Great collection!
