Wiener Werkstatte Sculptural Vase   
by 
Gudrun Baudisch    Austrian Secession Ceramics - Circa 1928-1930

DESCRIPTION:

Rare sculptural glazed terracotta vase by Gudrun Baudisch for the Wiener Werkstatte of Vienna, Austria.   

Hand-sculpted red clay, hand-painted, glazed and fired.

Signed on bottom with impressed marks for Wiener Werkstatte “WW”, “MADE IN AUSTRIA”, shape number “280”, and the “GB” monogram of Gudrun Baudisch. \"   ”.

This piece has a design like something out of “Metropolis”, a 1927 German Expressionist epic science-fiction drama film directed by Fritz Lang. Maybe not surprising since the film came out just a year or two before this piece was designed.

The form consists of three joined cylinders with slightly everted lips, flat ribbon type loop handles, flat Saturn-like rings, and stylized Art Deco flowers on stems. The main color is a thickly applied, rich flambe blue glaze with small white drippy inclusions, and the handles, rings, floral designs, the base rims, and two of the rims are decorated a red-orange glaze. The interiors of the cylinders are an off-white and the red clay body shows at the underside.

This is a fine and very attractive example of Gudrun Baudisch’s work for the famed Wiener Werkstatte. Purchased from an Eastern Long Island estate collection.

AGE: Early 20th century. Circa 1928 - 1930.
