Details:
Thrown ceramic vase from the studio community Stephan Erdös and Ida Erdös-Meisinger. Since Ida Erdös was mainly engaged with the production of ceramic sculptures, especially figures, this vase is most probably made by her husband Stephan Erdös. The potter Stephan Erdös concentrated exclusively on vessel ceramics and carried out glaze experiments [1].
In addition to the stamp SiEM the number 3405 is written under the stand. The comparison with similar pieces [2] and the form point to an origin of the vase in the early 1950s.
