ABOUT PRODUCTID 9304
This ceramic vase, produced by Kunsttöpferei Unterstab Langenhessen in Germany during the 1960s, exemplifies the fat lava movement and modernist minimalism characteristic of that era. With a height of 37 cm and a diameter of 13 cm, the vase features a distinctly cylindrical, straight-sided silhouette resting on a flat base. Its primary visual element is a saturated, cool cobalt blue, punctuated by irregular white spots and patches concentrated towards the base. The surface is covered in a striking, deeply textured glaze with a satin, subtly lustrous finish. Prioritizing bold color and tactile surface over decorative motifs, the design reflects the mid-century West German focus on expressive glazing. The base is marked by the manufacturer, attesting to its authenticity. The vase is preserved in excellent condition: no chips, cracks, or repairs, and the glaze remains fully intact. The form of this vase tells the story of 1960s German design, an era when strong color and experimental surfaces became hallmarks of creative expression. The cobalt hue evokes the depth and coolness of volcanic lava, while the velvety texture invites touch, as if the surface were a fragment of solidified magma. It is the voice of a period that valued both disciplined form and material expressiveness—a minimalist vessel animated by energetic, almost painterly glazing. The vase can be displayed alone on an oak sideboard, its saturated color standing out against pale wood, or combined with other modernist ceramics and simple glass accessories. It would work well in mid-century modern interiors and could serve as a striking accent in more neutral, calm spaces. Pairing it with natural beige or graphite textiles would highlight both the strength of its color and the harmonious rhythm of its surface. No further technical or care instructions are provided by the manufacturer. The vase is crafted from high-quality ceramic with a textured, semi-matte fat lava glaze.
