A wonderfully charming ceramic planter by Marei Keramik, Germany, decorated all around with a hand-painted pastoral landscape scene. A large spreading tree dominates the front, its branches and rounded foliage rendered in muted sage green and grey against a soft powder-blue background. White fluffy clouds drift across the sky, and small black-faced sheep graze quietly at the base of the tree and on the reverse side. The overall palette is gentle and atmospheric, giving the piece an almost illustrative, storybook quality.
The form is a wide cylindrical planter with a softly rippled, undulating rim, glazed in a deeper steel blue. The interior is glazed in the same blue tone. The base is unglazed terracotta red and carries impressed marks reading Made in Germany, along with the numbers 11/1 and 23/11, consistent with Marei‘s marking system for form and size.
This is a less common Marei decor, the figurative pastoral painting style is far less frequently encountered than their usual abstract or geometric pieces, which makes this a particularly appealing find for collectors of West German ceramics.
In very good vintage condition. No chips or cracks. Please zoom in on all photos to assess closely.
Dimensions:
Height: 11.4 cm / 4.5 inches
Width/Diameter: approx. 12.5 cm / 4.9 inches
Weight: 511 g / 18 oz

Dieser reizvolle Keramikübertopf von Marei Keramik aus Deutschland zeigt ein umlaufendes, handgemaltes Landschaftsmotiv mit einem ausladenden Baum, kleinen schwarzköpfigen Schafen und Wolken auf pudrigblauem Grund. Die Form mit dem wellig geschwungenen Rand und der stahlblauen Glasur innen ist typisch für Marei, während das figürliche Schäfchen-Landschaftsdekor seltener als die üblichen abstrakten Motive dieser Marke ist. Der Boden aus rotem Steingut trägt die eingestempelte Bezeichnung "Made in Germany" sowie die Zahlen 11/1 und 23/11. Zustand: sehr gut, keine Chips oder Risse.
