West German Marei Keramik Blue and Brown Floral Handpainted Planter Pot

A gorgeously decorated planter in predominantly navy, cyan, and brown tones with a classic and characteristic cylindrical form, made by Marei Keramik. Dating from the 1970s and stamped “Made In W. Germany, the planter features a textured and incised (sgraffito) ground with a handpainted flowers and leaves design, with a boldly contrasting solid navy blue interior.

This one is in very good condition with no chips or cracks and seemingly little used, although being a vintage piece you should expect minor scuffs and signs of age. It measures approximately 12cm (4¾in.) in height and a similar diameter. It’s a solid piece and would serve as originally intended i.e. as a plant pot holder or equally well as a pen, stationery, or utensils pot.
