Full Description

A sculptural ceramic vase by Ditmar Urbach, produced in Turn‑Teplitz, Czechoslovakia, circa 1930s. Part of the maker’s celebrated Alienware series, this piece features a tall neck flanked by twin scroll handles and a rectangular relief panel depicting a stylised lion.

The warm terracotta glaze contrasts beautifully with the dark relief, creating a bold interplay of colour and texture. Urbach’s Alienware line was known for its futuristic forms and experimental glazes, reflecting the modernist spirit of the interwar period. A rare and collectible example of Czech Art Deco craftsmanship.
