ABOUT PRODUCTID 42527
The Scheurich ceramic jug, model 407-35, is a striking example of West German art pottery from the late 1960s and 1970s. It features the dynamic color palette and textural contrasts characteristic of the 'Fat Lava' style: a glossy, saturated red glaze at the top transitions into a bold, matte orange band, accented by tactile black lines reminiscent of solidified lava, and a deep, glossy brown at the base with subtle tonal gradients. The surface varies from smooth and glossy to matte and textured, highlighting the hand-applied glaze and robust construction typical of the era. The silhouette is classic mid-century modern, with a tall, narrow neck, pronounced shoulders, and a sturdy single handle, finished with a gently flared rim and rounded base. The overall proportions are harmonious. The condition is rated as good – a minor chip is visible on the handle, but there are no signs of restoration and the jug retains its original, authentic character.This vessel carries the spirit of German modernism, when ceramics became an arena for experiments with color, texture, and form. The interplay of vivid red, matte orange, and expressive raised lines evokes the energy of the 1970s, a period when West German manufacturers redefined everyday objects with a sculptural approach.
