Marguerite Friedlaender's 'Halle' vases for Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM) were designed under the tutelage of the German brand's director, Günther von Pechmann. Originally created in 1930/31, the white porcelain vase's design is influenced by the aesthetic of the German Werkbund and the Bauhaus movement, as well as a partnership between KPM Berlin and Halle's Kunstgewerbeschule Burg Giebichenstein, forged by Pechmann.
