This tall ceramic vase by Scheurich was produced in Germany around 1960, embodying the distinctive Fat Lava style. The vivid orange body features a glossy finish, while the upper section is adorned with a thick, artistically applied glaze in cool shades of grey and white. The irregular, downward flow of the glaze, its semi-matte volcanic texture, and the harmonious cylindrical silhouette—with a pronounced rounded shoulder and a short neck—lend the piece a modernist expression typical of German ceramics from the 1960s. The ceramic surface is smooth and intact, without visible damage or restoration, retaining its original finish. Overall condition is very good.The vase tells the story of mid-century German design: its expressive glaze recalls the energy of an era marked by experimentation with color and texture. Fat Lava’s characteristic surface and color contrasts seem to capture the motion of cooling lava, encapsulating the artistic explorations of its time. The geometric form reflects a penchant for simplicity and function, while the saturated orange hue evokes the optimism of the 1960s.In an interior, the vase can be paired with other mid-century modern elements—such as teak furniture or abstract graphics—to underscore its collectible appeal. It would also make a strong solo accent on a marble surface, minimalist sideboard, or among neutral textiles, where its vivid color and bold texture become a visual focal point. Consider combining it with architectural-leafed plants or other Fat Lava ceramics to create a dynamic composition in the spirit of the 1960s.
