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.

Thankful I purchased it!
I’ve purchased several square trade warranties over the years and they have always been amazing when I’ve needed to use it. This past week I attempted to charge my Kindle after not using it for several months. When I opened it the next morning the screen just showed a battery symbol with an ! inside it. After researching and attempting to trouble shoot, I realized it was toast. Called Amazon and no issues getting the replacement scheduled. My ONLY issue is the warranty has a guaranteed 2 day replacement and mine is supposed to take almost a week. Anyhow, I highly recommend buying the warranty.
