This large, original Scheurich ceramic vase from the 1960s, produced in West Germany, exemplifies the bold mid-century modern and 'fat lava' design style. Its cylindrical body gently flares towards the base, completed with a single, angular handle that strengthens its sculptural silhouette. The main section of the vase is covered in a cool, matte, speckled gray, reminiscent of stone, while the lower part features a glossy, vibrant red band decorated with a geometric pattern of raised circles set within black rectangular outlines. The proportions are harmonious, with a wide base for stability and a narrower neck that subtly finishes the composition. The material is glazed ceramic, combining matte and glossy textures. The 'W. Germany' signature and model number confirm its authenticity. The vase is in very good condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs, and all elements appear original. This vase tells the visual story of postwar German avant-garde: the brutalist texture and energetic red band evoke the spirit of the 1960s, when form and color became a manifesto of daring modernism. Its surface suggests the rawness of lava or the chill of concrete, while the geometric relief—a graphic rhythm—adds movement and energy. The accentuated handle lends the vase a sculptural, almost architectural quality, inviting touch and engagement with its materiality. This object could speak of an era searching for new modes of expression in everyday vessels and unafraid of strong contrasts. The Scheurich vase can be displayed as a solo accent on a low teak sideboard or a minimalist light wood shelf. It may be paired with other 196
