Op Art Porcelain Floor Vase – Krautheim & Adelberg, 1980s

Tall porcelain floor vase by K&A Krautheim with a crisp white body and a graphic Op Art decor in gold, brown, and white. The clean cylindrical form is contrasted by a rhythmic optical pattern that wraps around the surface, giving the piece a distinctly late modern character rooted in the design language of 1980s West German porcelain.

K&A Krautheim & Adelberg was a porcelain manufacturer based in Selb, Bavaria, one of Germany’s key porcelain towns. The company grew out of a porcelain decorating business founded by Christoph Krautheim in 1884 and began producing its own porcelain in 1912; over the decades, it became known for combining solid craftsmanship with changing decorative styles, from classic tableware to more graphic late-20th-century designs.
