The Story
This large, elegant vase is a prime example of mid-century German porcelain craftsmanship. Produced by the renowned Eschenbach (part of the Oscar Schaller & Co. group) in the Bavarian town of Windischeschenbach, it captures the refined "Eames Era" aesthetic of the 1950s. The design features stylised poppies rendered in soft pink and muted lustre gold, set against a crisp, high-quality white porcelain body with classical clean lines.
The Details
Dimensions: 30cm H x 11.5cm at widest point.
Maker: Eschenbach, Germany (marked to base).
Era: Circa 1940s–1950s.
Material: Fine German porcelain with gilt detailing.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The colors and gilt are fresh and vibrant with no crazing. It is fully watertight. The only minor flaw is a very tiny, discreet nibble at the base.
Why It’s Special
Eschenbach has been a leader in the German porcelain industry for over a century, known for superior durability and finish. This vase balances traditional floral motifs with the era's lean toward minimalism. The use of lustre gold paint adds a subtle shimmer that changes with the light, elevating it from a simple flower vessel to a sophisticated piece of mid-century art.
Styling Tips
Statement Florals: At 30cm tall, this is a substantial vase. It is perfect for long-stemmed flowers like lilies, tall pampas grass, or even a few architectural branches that echo its own linear poppy design.
Mid-Century Credenza: Place it on a dark teak sideboard to let the white porcelain and gold detailing pop. It serves as an excellent focal point when grouped with shorter, matte-finish ceramics.
Modern Classic Decor: Its neutral palette and elegant shape mean it fits as well in a contemporary "Grandmillennial" interior as it does in a strictly retro 1950s setting.
