This exemplary work of Modernist ceramic artistry is from the rare-to-market and highly sought-after Montblanc series designed by Kurt Tschörner for the internationally renowned West German pottery Ruscha. Tschörner was a prolific designer who worked for Ruscha from 1953 to 1974. This Montblanc series, and indeed, this vase stands out with its bold geometric, incised décor in the beautifully contrasting matte black and white gloss glaze. A statement piece that combines Modern boldness with classic elegance in remarkable condition makes this difficult-to-refuse work of ceramic art.
The combination of this work's form, condition, size, and palette makes it an even rarer find considering the scarcity of Montblanc pieces.
