Vintage BLUE BALL VASE – Sgraffito Fish Decor 1960-70's

This vintage ball vase is a striking piece of German art pottery. It features a deep dark blue glaze with a hand-etched sgraffito fish motif. The contrast between the navy base and the carved lines gives it a high-end, mid-century look. It is a beautiful example of traditional Westerwald craftsmanship.

The round shape fits perfectly in modern or nautical-themed homes. Its artistic animal decor makes a lovely focal point on any shelf. The texture of the carved fish adds a nice tactile detail to the piece. This sturdy, unique vase is a great find for art pottery collectors.

The maker of this piece is likely from the Westerwald region, a famous hub for German ceramics. The style is heavily inspired by Adele Bolz, known for her intricate sgraffito and animal motifs. Maybe even made by Adele Bolz, but we are not sure about that.

Collectors value these pieces for their handmade character and regional history.
