This large 'fat lava' ceramic bottle was crafted in Germany during the 1960s, exemplifying the principles of mid-century modern design. The tall, cylindrical body and elongated neck create a backdrop for distinctive texture and colour contrasts: the main section is finished in a richly saturated, matte burnt orange-brown glaze, while the upper part presents a hallmark heavy 'fat lava' glaze with glossy white and ashy grey tones, dotted here and there with chocolate brown and black speckles cascading irregularly down from the neck. The neck transitions into a highly lustrous, metallic deep brown glaze with a bronze-like finish, offering a visual counterpoint to the matte body. Minimalist, geometric proportions (height 43 cm, diameter 11.8 cm) reflect the era's aesthetic, while the tactile interplay between cratered lava texture and smooth ceramic surfaces highlights the craftsmanship and singular style of 1960s West German ceramics. The piece remains in excellent condition, with original finishes and only minimal traces of use.
