This Fat Lava ceramic vase, created by the renowned German manufactory Ruscha in the 1960s, features a cylindrical form with a subtly flared rim. The dominant tone is a richly saturated, earthy brown, accented by deep volcanic black and graphite grey. The glaze is notably thick and highly textured, exhibiting the signature 'lava' effect—bubbled, uneven, and dynamic, with organic drips and patches that blend matte and glossy areas. Measuring 20.5 cm in height and 10.5 cm in diameter, the vase presents a robust, expressive silhouette typical of the mid-century modern aesthetic, emphasizing the rawness of material and the boldness of finish. There are no visible chips or cracks; the vase is in very good condition, with the glaze’s variations being intentional and artistic rather than signs of wear. This vase tells the story of German ceramic avant-garde in the 1960s, when pronounced textures and experimental glazes reflected a fascination with nature and volcanic energy. Each drip and bubble in the glaze echoes the era’s search for new modes of expression, as if the material itself were speaking in the language of earth and fire. Its surface, with irregular glaze movement, suggests a fragment of cooled lava, captured in a functional form—ready to hold flowers or serve as a standalone collectible object. The Ruscha vase can
