Mid-Century Vase in Ceramic by Scherzer, Czech, 1960s

Maker: Scherzer. Model number: 515-3. This elegant ceramic vase dates back to the 1960s and was manufactured by the renowned German porcelain factory Scherzer, which was famous for combining high craftsmanship with modern design trends. This specific model, bearing the designation 515-3, represents an excellent example of period aesthetics that utilized three-dimensional reliefs to achieve a dynamic visual effect. The surface of the vase is formed by regular vertical wave segments, which create a rhythmic pattern reminiscent of organic curves or stylized leaves. Thanks to this relief decor, the vase interacts interestingly with light and shadow, constantly changing its appearance based on the angle of incoming illumination, which is a typical and highly valued element of 1960s design. Due to its pure white finish and geometric structure, the vase feels timeless and fits seamlessly into both historically themed retro interiors and modern minimalist spaces. Since it has been preserved in perfect condition without any signs of damage, it represents a highly sought-after collector's piece today, successfully combining the function of a utility object with the aesthetics of a sculptural piece.
