Minimal, grounded, and quietly sculptural.
This tall green stoneware bottle is marked MKM and is attributed to Max Krüger, part of the West German studio pottery movement of the late mid-century period.
The soft sage-green glaze shows subtle vertical flow and natural kiln variation, paired with a warm buff clay body visible at the base. Its restrained cylindrical form reflects the functional-modern aesthetic popular in West Germany during the late 1960s–1970s, when pottery leaned toward simplicity and material honesty.
Equally at home as a standalone art object or styled as a minimalist vase, this piece brings calm, earthy presence wherever it lands.
