A tall cylindrical studio pottery vase of minimalist form, wheel-thrown in a coarse stoneware body. The surface is finished with a softly mottled iron-rich glaze in warm ochre, amber and honey tones, pooling and breaking to reveal the underlying clay. Horizontal throwing lines remain subtly visible, lending texture and an honest, tactile quality typical of post-war European studio ceramics.
The flat base is incised “Janneke ’87”, indicating a named studio potter and a date of 1987. While the maker is not firmly documented, the restrained form, natural glaze palette and emphasis on materiality are consistent with German studio pottery of the late 20th century, particularly within the Anglo-German functionalist tradition.
