Scheurich Keramik: Amphora-Style Handled Vase (c.1966–72)

Amphora-style handled vase, mottled stone glaze, by West German maker Scheurich Keramik (circa 1966–72).

Model no. 670‑20, of amphora‑inspired form, the rounded body rising to a cylindrical neck with flared rim and a single loop handle at the shoulder. Finished in a softly mottled stone glaze with horizontal texturing, the base impressed “scheurich 670‑20 – Made in Germany”. Height 20 cm.

Produced during the golden period of West German ceramics, this design exemplifies Scheurich’s modernist approach to classical vessel forms and reflects the restrained, sculptural aesthetic of late 1960s studio‑influenced production.
