This is a large Scheurich 30cm tall vase with the uncommon ‘Montignac’ pattern. The base is marked 281-30. It is hand decorated front and back in a matte finish, with the interior being high gloss. It is part of the ‘Linie 72’ range and so every vase with this décor is unique. It is 30cm tall and 15cm wide.


This much sought after and scarce Montignac décor  has deer, bull and horse featured, and is thought to have been inspired by cave paintings discovered in Lascaux (SW France) which was open to the public between 1948-63. The Montignac series is a much sought after limited edition décor produced between 1972 to 1973.  


This particular piece was decorated with a fat lava décor in bubbling crater lava glaze, and the overall effect is how you might expect a prehistoric cave wall to appear visually and physically. The stylised bull, horse and deer were hand painted after the decorator had piped raised ridge outlines for each. Because of this each vase will have slightly different animal outlines and variations in colouring.


This is a quality vase in very good vintage condition, and the combination of the coarse and silky glaze makes this piece wonderfully tactile as well as visually, a statement piece.
