Details:
Thrown ceramic vase made in the studio Reuss. The vase was burnt with a reduction firing technique and originates seemingly from the beginnings of the 1950s [1]. Gusso (Gustav Otto) Reuss carried out glaze experiments as he wanted to copy glazes, such as those produced in the Sung and Kang-Hsi era in China. At the end of the 1920s, Gusso Reuss exposed his experiments for the first time [2].
