A short, pencil-cup column vase from DÜMLER & BREIDEN—finished in the über-collectible Polar décor, with its characteristic, dueling contrasts of colors and textures. The off-white and black, dirty-snow glazes evoke the Arctic and suggest a “frozen” aesthetic. The central band of glossy, vivid orange is sandwiched between rougher, matte layers of “fat lava,” its unusual color recalling the brilliant autumn tundra. Adding to the vase’s appeal, its eccentric footprint has the swirling shape of the meteorological symbol for a hurricane: the wing points being the seams created during the slip-cast process, cleverly integrated into the design. From the 1970s. The base is incised with the model number and the “crossed-swords” maker’s mark, confirming authenticity. Two available.


DÜMLER & BREIDEN (aka D&B) was founded in 1883 by Peter Dümler (1860–1907) and his brother-in-law and childhood friend, Albert Breiden (1860–1926), in the town of Höhr-Grenzhausen, about 20 km northeast of Koblenz in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Located in the Westerwald region, the town is set within the Kannenbäckerland—the “potters’ land” or, more literally, the “jug-bakers’ land”—a centuries-old home to ceramics manufacture in central Germany and the site of the largest clay deposit in Europe.) In the early 20th century, DÜMLER & BREIDEN was known mainly for producing beer steins and punch bowls in the typical blue-gray Westerwald style.

Following WWII, D&B gradually established itself as one of West Germany’s leading producers of art pottery. Unafraid to experiment, its potters crafted a vast and often whimsical universe of ceramics throughout the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s. They transitioned effortlessly from traditional folk patterns to the vibrant, rule-breaking motifs of pop art. Many pieces showcased a dazzling, sometimes flamboyant, display of glazes, with vivid reds oozing into electric blues, on quirky forms that felt as much like rebellious sculptures as they did decorative objects. Items produced within the Domino, Polar, and Saturn design series are among the most sought-after by collectors. DÜMLER & BREIDEN closed in 1992.

Notes on identification: D&B most often used white to buff clay, although red clay is seen in the Terra series and in other “klinker”-style items. Marks are almost always impressed and are usually made using a distinctive, square-cut font. A crossed-swords D&B symbol (with the lowercase initials “D” and “B” as stylized hilts) is often present on the base along with the form and size numbers; where the symbol is absent, the form and size numbers are stacked. If an origin is indicated, it is always simply “Germany”—with no “West” designation. The full text “DÜMLER & BREIDEN” replaces the D&B symbol from 1980 onwards. Relief and Studio pieces were marked on the base with the names of those series. Very few items have unmarked bases, and markings are only very rarely obscured by glaze. Factory stickers are most commonly found only on very early items and typically feature the crossed-swords symbol and the factory location, “Hohr.”

Perfect fit for a medium build 5ft 6
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey
I am happy with this grey color Blazer. The fit is spot on- I am 5’6” medium build, and it fits comfortably without feeling too tight or too loose. The material feels high quality and has a nice weight into it. Making it look more premium than expected. It’s also very comfortable to wear for extended periods, whether for work or going out. Overall great value and a solid addition to my wardrobe. Would definitely recommend!

Great jacket!
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Dark Blue
Nice jacket for warmer weather, very comfortable, fit me well. I'm a big guy and wear a 54 regular in tailored sport coats. The 4XL fit nearly identical to a 54 regular. Adds some class to a nice outfit without making it formal, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Comfortable & Right Fit
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey, Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey
Light Grey, XL *Item returned before use due to color change* Quality every day blazer. Good material didn't feel cheap or come with lose threads. When buttoned the blazer laid flat, I had room in chest and stomach but didn't seem baggy. Shoulders fit across without pinching or buckling around pads. Arm length didn't hang past wrist when arms were at my side and also didn't pull too high when raising. My measurements: More of a solid, muscular build but still very average. 6' 215# Chest 44" (circumference) Shoulders 20" (length taken from back) Waist: 38" (circumference) Arms: 26" (length taken down outside of arm)
