Details:
The spherical vase is not signed. Only a Roman Two (II) written in pencil can be identified under the vase. Since Otto Lindig designed spherical vases of similar size, for which he also used running glazes, there is a probability that this spherical vase here is also designed by Otto Lindig and made by his studio.
Because of the primary form of the circle used by the Bauhaus, this vase falls into the category of Bauhaus pottery vases. In view of its presumed origin, however, one can also speak roughly of a Bauhaus ceramic vase, since it can be assumed that the vase comes from the workshop of Otto Lindig, who took over the Bauhaus studio in Dornburg in 1930. Lindig had not only learned pottery in the former Bauhaus workshop, but after his examination at the end of the apprenticeship in 1922, he also took over the technical management of the Bauhaus pottery studio.
