Vintage KPM Bavaria Op Art White Porcelain Vase With Red Sphere Accent, West Germany.
A striking example of 1970s West German modernist design, this sculptural porcelain vase by Royal Porzellan Bavaria (KPM) features a bold Op Art-inspired relief pattern with concentric geometric ridges that draw the eye toward a vivid red porcelain sphere set within a chrome insert. The minimalist palette and dimensional form make it an eye-catching decorative object from every angle.
Expertly handcrafted in West Germany, the underside bears the Royal Porzellan Bavaria KPM hallmark with \"Handarbeit\" (handcrafted) and \"Made in West Germany,\" dating the piece to the Cold War era before German reunification.
Whether displayed on its own or with a single stem, this sculptural vase is an exceptional addition to collections of Mid-Century Modern, Space Age, Op Art, Postmodern, or German studio ceramics.
