Vintage Müller Lucerne Studio Pottery Vase - Mid-Century Modern Swiss Ceramic
This elegant vintage studio pottery vase, attributed to Müller Lucerne, is a refined example of mid-century modern Swiss ceramic craftsmanship, distinguished by its restrained evident artistry and timeless design sensibility. The vase features a sleek cylindrical silhouette with clean, balanced proportions that emphasize both form and function—hallmarks of European modernist ceramics produced during the mid-20th century.
The exterior is finished in a soft matte ground, best described as a sky grey with a subtle blue undertone, providing a calm and neutral canvas for the hand-painted abstract decoration. Bold yet carefully composed black and teal linear motifs encircle the surface, adding visual rhythm and movement while remaining elegantly understated. This graphic treatment reflects the era’s embrace of abstraction and minimalism, making the piece equally suitable for display in modern, contemporary, or eclectic interiors.
The interior is coated in a deep black glaze, offering a striking contrast to the lighter exterior and enhancing the vase’s sculptural presence when viewed from above. On the underside, the base is clearly marked “Müller Lucerne” along with a ceramic stamp, confirming its authenticity and Swiss origin. Such markings are highly valued by collectors of European studio pottery.
Crafted from high-quality ceramic, this vase exemplifies durability paired with refined aesthetics. Whether displayed as a standalone object or incorporated into a curated collection of mid-century European ceramics, it brings sophistication, subtle color, and historical significance to any setting. A superb acquisition for collectors, designers, and admirers of modernist studio pottery.
