ABOUT PRODUCTID 15887
This large Fat Lava ceramic flower stand, originating from Germany and produced in the 1970s, embodies the bold forms and textural experimentation of mid-century modern ceramics. The piece is crafted from robust, high-fired ceramic with a distinctive two-tone glaze: the upper section showcases matte cool greys with a cratered, bubbly texture characteristic of Fat Lava pottery, while the base is finished in a saturated, glossy lava red that provides a striking chromatic contrast. The transition between the colors is organic and flowing, echoing geological phenomena – there are no sharp edges. The sculptural silhouette is defined by a pronounced bulbous body, narrowing in the midsection and then widening at the mouth and foot, illustrating a penchant for retro-futuristic modernist proportions. The surface retains its original, vibrant glazes, with precise textural detailing and no visible signs of wear, chipping, or restoration.
The object speaks with the voice of the 1970s: a narrative shaped by fascination with primal forces of nature, tactile engagement, and material honesty. Its raw, lava-like texture evokes a landscape frozen in the act of transformation, while the deep red base radiates subterranean energy. This stand embodies the era’s belief in bold visual statements and expressive surfaces; its very presence channels the postwar German enthusiasm for radical design and ceramic artistry, where every contrasting layer tells a story of creative freedom and technical innovation.
The piece could become a focal point in a living room, placed near a minimalist sofa or on a walnut
