Der Unbekannte Klang
Available · one owner onlyArchive note
A 1962 porcelain audio sculpture by an unattributed German ceramicist, documented here as evidence of a mid-century collision between functionalist design and experimental sound. The biomorphic form—part vessel, part speaker—suggests a failed prototype for a consumer audio object that never reached production. Marked only 'Zeitlos. Rein.' (Timeless. Pure.), the piece embodies the speculative design language of postwar German ceramics workshops. Collectors of modernist industrial failures and phantom product histories.
