West German Pottery Model “265” Pitcher, 1960s

A classic example of mid-century West German pottery, this model “265” pitcher reflects the era’s distinctive balance between craftsmanship and bold graphic design. The matte black body is accented by a band of deep red panels, framed with incised linear details that create a structured, almost architectural rhythm. Its compact form, integrated handle, and slightly flared spout emphasize both function and sculptural appeal. The rich red-glazed interior adds a subtle contrast, a signature detail often found in German studio ceramics of the period. Timeless and versatile, it’s a strong collectible piece that works beautifully in both modernist and eclectic interiors.
