This pair of Fat Lava vases from Italy, dating to the 1970s, exemplifies the geometric ceramic design characteristic of the mid-century modern era. Each vase presents a distinctive rectangular silhouette with a slender, tall neck and a gently flared rim. The surfaces are finished in bold, saturated hues: one vase in deep cobalt blue, the other in a vivid orange-red. Around each neck flows a contrasting lava-effect glaze – brown and white drips on the blue vase, yellow and greyish-white on the orange vase – creating a tactile, raised texture that stands out against the smooth, glossy body. The high-gloss, mirror-like glaze accentuates the expressive, hand-applied finish typical of Italian ceramics of the period. Both vases are in good vintage condition, showing minor traces of use such as small chips or glaze imperfections consistent with authentic vintage ceramics. The price refers to the set – both vases are included. These vases capture the spirit of the 1970s, a time when Italian craftsmanship drew inspiration from nature and bold color. Their geometric shapes and dynamic glazing evoke an era when ceramics became expressive, almost sculptural objects. The glossy surfaces and flowing lava drips recall volcanic landscapes – as if the vessels have caught the moment of cooling lava, suspending it in ceramic
