White Porcelain Vase with Handle – Relief Ornament

Vintage white porcelain vase with handle combines timeless simplicity with sculptural elegance. The flared form and gently widening base are complemented by a gracefully curved handle that recalls the shape of a classic pitcher. A raised ornamental relief band encircles the body, contrasting beautifully with the smooth glossy glaze. Bright and refined, the piece works as an elegant decorative accent in both modern and traditional interiors. In very good vintage condition with no cracks or chips, this Bavarian porcelain vase represents a collectible and versatile decorative item.

A matching version of this vase without a handle is also available in our collection, featuring the same form and ornamental detail.

Royal Porzellan Bavaria KPM, also known as Kerafina Porzellan Manufaktur, was a porcelain manufacturer based in Marktredwitz, Bavaria, Germany. Active primarily in the mid-20th century, the company produced elegant decorative porcelain under the “Royal KPM” label, which should not be confused with the historic Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin. Kerafina specialized in refined vases, decorative vessels, and giftware, often in minimalist white or pastel glazes with relief detailing, gilding, or hand-applied ornamentation. Pieces marked "Royal Porzellan Bavaria KPM Germany" are appreciated today for their elegant design, quality of finish, and place in the postwar tradition of West German porcelain artistry.
