€165,00 EUR
Product Information

A ceramic vase by Heiner-Hans Körting with a broad rounded grey-taupe body, narrow dark-glazed opening and a raised white relief that runs across the surface in wrinkled, fissure-like lines. The irregular linear pattern cuts across the full rounded volume, creating a strong contrast between curve and line while the grey, cream and brown palette remains restrained. This raised fissure-like relief is a recurring, recognisable characteristic of Körting workshop vessel ceramics.
Context

Heiner-Hans Körting (1911–1991) took over the former Bauhaus pottery workshop in Dornburg with Gerda Körting in 1949. He became known for vessel ceramics as well as garden, architectural, animal and abstract ceramics; distinctive relief decoration on vessels is a documented and recurring characteristic of the Körting workshop, including fissure-like linear relief comparable to the surface treatment used here.
