Decor/Pattern: Described as Pattern #6336 with an "autumnal motif." The search results confirm the existence of a Waechtersbach "Uschi" pattern #6336.
-
Colors: Off-white ground with a stenciled or transfer-printed design in charcoal grey/burnt umber (for the branches/outlines) and speckled/stippled leaves in yellow, cerulean blue/teal, and orange.
-
Marking: The base features the hand-painted or printed word "Uschi" instead of the typical base stamp. "Uschi" may be the name of the pattern, or potentially the decorator's signature (a common nickname for Ursula). The search results link the "Uschi" decor to Waechtersbach pottery.
The vase is a good example of West German Pottery (WGP) from the mid-20th century, which is highly collectible. The pattern and shape are characteristic of the period's modernist aesthetic.
