ABOUT PRODUCTID 36438
This ceramic vase from the 1960s, produced by the German manufactory Strehla, is a quintessential example of the 'Fat Lava' style that defined postwar West German design. Its cylindrical body features a subtle narrowing toward the top and a small, slightly flared opening, enhanced by a distinctive surface treatment: at the base, a matte, dark brown, grainy band gives way to a cool light gray near the top, with a slightly foamy finish. The central decorative band is adorned with raised, organic motifs glazed in vivid, glossy orange and accented with yellow, sharply framed by rough, brownish-gray contours. The surface transitions from a raw, volcanic texture at the bottom to a smoother, more refined feel above. The vase’s proportions and aesthetics reflect the mid-century modern spirit, emphasizing tactile surface and expressive use of color. The condition is very good, with only minor signs of use—small scratches or wear, with no significant damage or interventions.This vase tells the story of 1960s West German design, a period when bold forms and experimental glazing were seen as declarations of modernity. Its surface evokes cooled lava, as if drawn from the earth
