A stylish, pint-size, teardrop bud vase hand thrown by West German master art potter Luise Duncker in her Flensburg studio. Hand-decorated with dyed slip in a very typical colorway. Her studio mark is impressed on the base. (NOTE: the width and depth cited in the Details section reference the vase's diameter at its greatest.)

LUISE DUNCKER is an internationally recognized German studio potter who produced consumer ceramics—vases, bowls, wall plates—in a very individual style. She was born in the Mecklenburg region of northern Germany in 1928. She showed an early talent for drawing and modeling. Unfortunately, securing an education in Germany in the wake of WWII was a hit-and-miss proposal for much of the populace: the high school Duncker attended was shut down when the parents' financial resources ran out. "Sometimes I regret that I did not graduate high school," she has reported, "but I've always been happy with my job." Duncker finally completed training as a potter in the university town of Göttingen in Lower Saxony. In 1961 she passed her master's examination before the Chamber of Skilled Crafts in Flensburg—a village near the German-Danish border where she had settled. She established a good reputation there and, in 1982, could rent a small shop and studio on Rote Straße (Red Street), the town's famous pedestrian shopping mecca. She lived comfortably off sales of her work, thanks in considerable measure to orders received at the biannual trade fairs in Frankfurt.

Now retired, Duncker remained an institution in Flensburg for many years. In 2015, she moved from her home on Waitzstraße, where she had had a second workshop, into an Assisted Living facility in the deconsecrated Monastery of the Holy Spirit, having abandoned the potter's wheel some years prior. Duncker trained many apprentices, some of whom have become successful potters in their own rights.

Duncker's hallmarks were a unique scribing technique and a particular slip method that she used to apply dyed clay to leather-hard pieces before moving them to the kiln. The most commonly found Duncker items are brown-on-brown, a particularly popular look in the 1970s. She bristles somewhat at the term "art," but her ceramics and numerous drawings—mainly nudes and portraits—attest to a great talent.

Sturdy but hard to use
This bar is sturdy and doesn't bend but the bars are too close together making it difficult to hang towels on. Pro: sturdy and quality made Con: hard to use

Perfect for my needs
I don’t have many towel racks in my bathrooms and they’re hard for me to reach because I’m disabled. I bought a couple of small over the door racks, but they’re too small for hand towels. I didn’t have high hopes for this adjustable rack, I thought it would uncouple and fall from the door. I’m pleased to say I was wrong. There appears to be a stopper keeping both sides in place. I like that it has 2 bars, I easily put my face towel on one and my hand towel on the other. If I have a complaint, I wish the whole unit was another inch longer.

Perfect fit & couldn't be easier to install
Even though I measured I wasn't sure about the size or how the extending would work. It works very well and seems to stay securely in place fully extended. The felt pads are a nice touch and make sure it doesn't move around as you place & remove towels. It looks great. As far as people who've commented that the metal's a bit thin; well is a bit on the thin side but for kitchen towels I don't see that being an issue. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Pure Perfection!
Color: Black
Love this addition to my sink! It holds dishwashing liquid, hand soap pump, spounges, scrapers, and dish rag with room to spare. Any liquid will drain from the multi-directional spout right into your sink. The materials are all metal, no flimsy plastic dish rag holder.

Well made and sturdy.
Color: Black
Very sturdy and well made. Doesn't slide around every time you touch the soap dispensers like our last one.
