West German Marei Keramik Blue and Brown Floral Handpainted Planter Pot

Jon Nix — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 13:18:42 +0000

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.

The solution to the dull plant pot holder?! This teak and chromed metal stand puts bland plant pots in the shade, with its petal shaped-design, feet and teak base, it has a mid-century modernist - almost Atomic - style to it.

It is 17.5cm (7in.) tall and the maker is unknown, but we wouldn't at all be surprised if it originated from Denmark. The stand is in good condition - only very minor signs of wear and tear and a pair of mystery holes on the underside!

Printers Block of Convolvulus Style Plant

A very nice looking printing block which has some age to it, we suspect. We're not experts on the plant kingdom but we believe that the print depicts a member of the convulvulus family of plants (bindweeds, etc.). The plate itself is in very good condition and the block is in generally good shape. If you wished to use this for actual printing we reckon it would work very well indeed - alternatively, it would certainly make for an interesting decorative item or small paperweight.

The block measures 6.5cm by 6cm by 2cm (2½ by 2¼ by ¾ in).
