This compact and beautifully crafted ceramic piece is a wonderful example of Helmut Schäffenacker‘s distinctive West German studio pottery. Schäffenacker (1921–2010) was a highly respected Ulm-based ceramist known for his bold abstract designs and expressive glazework, and this small square ashtray or catch-all dish perfectly demonstrates his signature style.
The exterior walls carry deeply incised abstract relief motifs in dark brown against a warm sandy beige glaze, with the same pattern repeating on all four sides.
The interior is glazed in a deeply lustrous dark burgundy and black drip glaze with hints of teal around the rim, creating a striking contrast between the rustic exterior and the jewel-like interior. The piece rests on a narrow unglazed foot rim, with the model number 645 stamped into the base.
This piece works beautifully as a small dish, ring holder, or desk accessory.
Dimensions: 12.5 cm long × 11.8 cm wide × 5.6 cm tall (4.9" × 4.6" × 2.2")
Weight: 778 g (1.7 lbs)
In very good vintage condition. No chips or cracks. Minor surface marks consistent with age and use, as visible in the photos.
Color may vary on your screen (slightly dark or lighter, not a completely different color)
Some lifestyle or atmospheric images in this listing may be created with digital mockups, so small variations can occur. Please check my original product photos for the exact item you will receive.
All my items are vintage. Please zoom in on the photos to review closely and expect there to be slight imperfections or signs of age. I point out anything that would not be attributed to normal wear
