gerhard nußmann – fruit dish set | wallendorf | c. 1960
this is just another reason of why i love the 1960s work of wallendorfer porzellanfabrik. mostly clear shapes and so charming decorations. the appearance reminds on the works of raymond peynet, bjørn wiinblad or piero fornasetti. [decorated porcelain, dm. 8/18cm]

karl juettner – vase | c. 1965
first item i have found at the bürgeler collectors market is this reference piece of karl juettner. the massive archaic appearance will be underlined by a light four-sided forming and the matte multilayered glaze with a little opening for holding just a single flower or a branch of a tree. [glazed manganese clay, h. 19,5cm]
