Details:
Thrown ceramic vase from the studio Reuss. This vase was produced in a reduction fire. It probably dates back to the 1930s [1]. Gusso (Gustav Otto) Reuss was known for his glaze experiments, which aimed to rediscover, in particular, Chinese glaze techniques from the Sung period and the Kang-Hsi period. In 1927 Gusso Reuss exposed his ceramics with reduction glazes for the first time [2].
