This 319 vase from the Ritzen series is a simple form with a graphic monochrome stripe – a striking example of the sgraffito glaze-scratching technique pioneered by Bollhagen in the 1930s. Each vase is individually moulded before being hand-painted, fired and hand-glazed by artisans at the Marwitz workshop.

An opponent of machine manufacturing, Hedwig Bollhagen helped shape the 20th-century handmade movement, and her scratchy “sgraffito-ritz” ceramics came to define modern good taste. She became a feminine icon in newly unified Germany – as admired for her own resilience and strength as that of her designs.
