An example of lead-glazed slipware by Max Laeuger, this vibrantly colored vase depicts long-stemmed orange flowers against a background of bubbly green and inky black. Laeuger was well-known for this style in the 1890s, when most of his work was produced at the workshop of J. Armbruster in Kandern. Marks: stamped artist's cipher, MKL, GESETZL.
