This striking Art Deco Alienware vase was produced by Ditmar Urbach in Czechoslovakia and bears the factory name, country of manufacture and model number 9331 to the base.<\/p>\n
Dating from approximately the 1920s\u20131930s, the vase has a tall architectural form with a rounded cylindrical body, elongated neck and wide flared rim. Two dramatic handles rise from the shoulders before curling inward near the neck, creating a strong symmetrical silhouette.<\/p>\n
The surface is decorated in the distinctive Ditmar Urbach Alienware style, combining a cream ground with an intricate terracotta-brown crackle effect. Glossy dark brown to near-black vertical panels accent the neck, while a larger dark rectangular panel provides a bold focal point across the front of the body.<\/p>\n
These contrasting geometric panels complement the vase\u2019s sculptural handles and elongated proportions, giving the piece a particularly strong Art Deco presence. The unusual combination of architectural form, organic crackle pattern and dark geometric decoration makes it an appealing example of interwar Czechoslovakian art pottery.<\/p>\n
Standing 30.5 centimetres high, the vase has sufficient scale to display as a standalone statement piece while remaining suitable for a cabinet, sideboard, console table or mantel. It would complement an Art Deco interior or a broader collection of Czech and European decorative ceramics.<\/p>\n
The underside retains the Ditmar Urbach factory mark, the word Czechoslovakia and model number 9331.<\/p>\n
