Their rounded forms, fine incised decoration, and glaze experimentation reflect Dresler’s modernist approach and his interest in East Asian ceramic traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge vase: H 26 cm, Dia. 19.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall vase: H 18 cm, Dia. 12 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Studio ceramic\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: Paul Dresler\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Oxblood red, emerald green, dark brown-black\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Satin copper reduction glaze\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very good vintage condition; the smaller vase has a minor chip to the foot rim; otherwise only minimal traces of age and firing irregularities associated with handmade ceramics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1940s–1950s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Germany\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemarks: Set of two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay the pair together on a console, sideboard, or low shelf, where the varying reds, greens, and dark tones can be appreciated in natural light.

Inspired by Persian and Japanese ceramics, he became known for hand-thrown stoneware, restrained forms, and experimental wood- and coal-fired reduction glazes with rich, unpredictable colour effects. His work is collected as an important expression of German studio pottery between Art Deco and early modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio Ceramics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57443945349495,"sku":"2095_2106","price":360.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/0434\/3415\/files\/2095_2106_Duo_Vases_PaulDreslerGrootenburg_PaulDresler_Red_Brown_Green_Ceramics_Satin-3.jpg?v=1788862745","url":"https:\/\/www.berlinretrofinds.com\/products\/ceramic-vase-pair-paul-dresler-grootenburg-germany-1940s-1950s","provider":"Berlin Retro Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
