Vintage German Studio Pottery Bowl by R. Schulze-Kainitz

A beautiful piece of mid-to-late 20th-century German studio pottery, hand-thrown and signed by the potter, R. Schulze-Kainitz. This generously sized bowl features twin side handles and a rich mottled glaze in shades of deep indigo, earthy brown, and speckled ochre. The form is reminiscent of traditional ceramic cookware, though this piece was likely made as a decorative or serving vessel.

Its subtle sheen, tactile surface, and organic glazing make it perfect for a rustic kitchen, whether used as a fruit bowl, planter, serving piece, or simply admired on an open shelf. A wonderful example of East German studio pottery’s functional beauty.
