German Drip Glaze Ceramic Vase

This is a small, vintage ceramic vase, specifically identified as a 'Drip Glaze' German piece, measuring approximately 12 cm in height. The vase exhibits a classic mid-century design with a flaring rim and a tapering body that narrows towards a distinct footed base. The most striking feature is its drip glaze application, characterized by a captivating color gradient. The top section of the vase features a dark, possibly charcoal or deep gray glaze with vertical streaks or drips, flowing into a creamy beige or off-white mid-section. Towards the base, the glaze transitions into a vibrant teal or turquoise hue before meeting a solid black foot. The surface appears glossy, and the glaze application suggests a somewhat organic or fluid aesthetic, typical of drip glaze techniques which often result in unique patterns. The rim of the vase shows an undulating or slightly scalloped edge, adding to its artisanal appeal. Given its specified origin as 'German Ceramic Vase' and 'Vintage' classification, it likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, a period known for innovative ceramic production in Germany. The overall condition appears 'Good' as indicated, with no readily visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, though closer inspection would be required to confirm. The craftsmanship suggests mass production with a decorative artistic finish, common for collectible art pottery of its era. No specific maker's mark or signature is visible in the provided image.
