Vintage Mid-Century Sgrafo Modern Cylinder Vase - Model 3010 by Peter Müller - 12.25”

Add a striking architectural element to your space with this exceptional mid-century modern art pottery vase. Designed by legendary ceramicist Peter Müller for the renowned West Germany workshop Sgrafo Modern, this piece is a masterclass in 1960s organic brutalism and tactile design.

Standing at a commanding 12.25 inches tall, this is the highly sought-after, large-format Model 3010. It features Müller’s signature hand-incised sgraffito technique, cutting through layered earth-toned glazes to expose a deeply textured, organic motif reminiscent of tree bark, reeds, or papyrus. The interaction of the matte finish and the vertical linework creates dramatic shadow lines, making it a spectacular sculptural centerpiece for a mantel, shelving unit, or entry console.

For interior designers and serious collectors of West German Pottery, this item presents a balance of modernist geometry and raw, natural texture.
