This large stoneware vase from the 1970s exemplifies the German Fat Lava style. The cylindrical form features a wide, stable base and a subtly flared rim, emphasizing the vessel's solid presence. Its exterior combines a matte, speckled beige and brown surface with a glossy orange band encircling the center, bordered by a dark brown line for striking visual contrast. Two small, symmetrical side handles contribute to its sculptural silhouette. The interior is finished with a deep, glossy black glaze. Handcrafted qualities are evident in slight irregularities and two small chips on the rim, typical for vintage studio ceramics of the era. The vase channels the spirit of the 1970s, where materiality becomes a statement of authenticity and strength. The rough texture evokes cooled lava, while the vivid orange stripe appears to capture a moment of energy within the ceramic form. The handles suggest both function and ornament, balancing rawness with a bold touch of color. It can be displayed as a focal point in a living room, positioned on a low console or shelf. Pairing it with neutral walls and earth-toned textiles will emphasize its natural color palette. The vase works well alongside other ceramics with varying textures or minimalist wooden accents. Directional lighting—such as from a table lamp—will enhance the depth of color and surface detail. It may serve either as a stand-alone object or as a vessel for dried branches or grasses, allowing it to take center stage in a calm, contemporary space.
