CARL FISCHER (1891-1969) - B.K.W. FACTORY IN BÜRGEL 612, the design attributed to Henry van de Velde (1963-1967) Pair of shell vases with shoulder and geometrical detached handles in overflow. Green glazed ceramic proofs; thick beige-treated drips fall from the necks and spread beyond the shoulders. Each vase marked 612 on the reverse. H. 23,5 cm Acknowledgements: We thank Mrs. Antje Neumann-Golle, curator at the Keramikmuseum Bürgel, for confirming that Henry van de Velde, during his German period, did produce several designs for various manufactures in the city. Unfortunately, there are no documents to date that allow us to know which drawings and which factories were involved. However, our vases undoubtedly have strong formal and chromatic similarities with known works of the artist. Public collections: Keramikmuseum, Bürgel (Germany) - An identical vase is kept in the collections of this institution.
