ABOUT PRODUCTID 36774
This ceramic jug, produced by Steuler in West Germany during the 1960s, exemplifies the experimental approach of mid-century modern design. Its sculptural, low-profile silhouette features a pronounced round handle and a short, angled spout, resulting in a distinctive, almost brutalist presence. The surface is covered in Fat Lava glaze: layered, organic transitions flow from deep earthy brown through olive green to creamy white, creating a dynamic, lava-like effect. The texture is tactile and slightly rough, especially where the glaze is thicker, while other areas remain smoother. The jug’s construction is robust, with a thick rim around the opening and a flat, stable base. It remains in very good vintage condition, bearing minor scratches and subtle signs of age consistent with an original, gently used piece.This jug tells the story of 1960s West Germany—a period when ceramic craftsmanship sought new forms of expression. Fat Lava was more than a decorative technique; it represented an experiment with unpredictability in glaze reactions and surface structure, ensuring that each vessel was unique. This piece almost whispers of fascination with the elements: its earthy brown speaks of calm, while the dynamic glaze flows evoke the energy and spontaneity of the era. The austerity of the form contrasts with the richness of the glaze, creating an object that invites both visual attention and tactile curiosity.The jug can be used as a striking accent on a living room sideboard or within a collection of mid
