Studio pottery vase by Gerhard Liebenthron, a well known ceramic artist in Germany. Born in the 1920s, I believe he is still working today. The vase has a wonderful shape and size and is beautifully embellished. It has a hand incised mark on the base, GL, 84 (for 1984) and is in excellent condition. This type of primitive decor is typical of much of his work. If you search on Liebenthron and select "with archives", you can see three other pieces I recently sold of a similar design. His work is i... Click for details

The mottled brown/cream design on the outer matte surface morphs into a green/brown semi gloss palette on the inner top. Marked on the bottom with Unterstab in a semi-circle around a large T.

This early German art pottery vase is by Richard Uhlemeyer, whose work is very distinctive. Many of his pieces have this incised sgraffito decoration that looks like lightening. This piece which is 6 inches tall has a mottled reddish brown glaze and the incised pattern which reveals the bisque surface underneath. There are a few tiny glaze pops from the production process but it's in excellent condition. Based on other pieces, I would date this to the 1940s. It is marked on the base and also sta...
