ES Keramik produced a small range of vases that mimiked rocks and stones. Whilst I’ve seen many West German vases that were perhaps inspired by nature these are the most faithful re-creations of natural forms that I’ve come across.

The range is presumably quite small, I have only ever seen these four forms. The vases all have numbers in the 670s which are often very hard to decipher. Potsandpots are currently selling these vases on eBay, click here.

They came in a variety of colours, but all very ‘earthy’, no lurid bright fat lava glazes appear to have been applied further re-enforcing their rock like appearence.

The vase below from KPM is the closest other representation of a rock that I’ve come across in mass produced German ceramics.
