The flask vase is one of Hubert Griemert's best-known designs for KPM Manufaktur. At the beginning of 1956, KPM produced the small flask vase 1 (model and tax number 19235/5,8855) for the first time with a leaf net decoration designed by Gerhard Kadow. Gerhard Kadow was a Bauhaus student of Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. In addition to the white vase, flask 1 was also made in basalt porcelain*.  

Form Design Hubert Griemert, 1953
Decor by Gerhard Kardow 1955

I currently have three variants:

Model Kolbenform vase 1, height approx. 18.6 cm, model design Hubert Griemert, white porcelain, sceptre marks in underglaze blue before 1962

Model flask shape vase 1 with leaf net decoration, height approx. 18.6 cm, model design Hubert Griemert, relief decoration Gerhard Kadow 1955, porcelain relief white, mark sceptre in underglaze blue before 1962

Model flask shape vase 1 with leaf net engraving, height approx. 17.6 cm, model design Hubert Griemert, relief decoration Gerhard Kadow 1955, basalt mass or basalt porcelain, mark embossed in unglazed base

* The so-called basalt porcelain, has received its deep brown, almost black color through the addition of manganese, copper and iron oxide and is almost always used unglazed

both vases are of course 1st choice and in excellent condition
