ABOUT PRODUCTID 9314
This ceramic vase by Scheurich exemplifies 1960s German design in the iconic fat lava style, known for its expressive glazes and dynamic surface effects. The silhouette is slender with a rounded, tapering body and a gently flared neck—hallmarks of mid-century modern aesthetics. The surface is coated with a glossy glaze where intense, almost fiery red contrasts with deep black, forming organic, irregular patterns reminiscent of solidified lava. The texture remains smooth to the touch, with the relief effect achieved solely through glazing techniques. The base bears the manufacturer's mark, confirming its authenticity. The vase is preserved in very good condition, free from cracks or chips, with only minimal signs of age. This piece channels the spirit of West German optimism in the 1960s, when color and expression responded to the realities of the postwar era. The irregular black patches against vibrant red evoke a volcanic landscape—suggesting a hidden energy beneath the surface. The glossy glaze catches and reflects light, allowing the vessel to visually shift throughout the day, while its form invites a closer look at the details. The vase can be displayed as a standalone accent on a sideboard or shelf—particularly at home in mid-century modern settings, but also in eclectic, collector's interiors where bold color takes center stage. It may be grouped with other fat lava vessels in various sizes and hues for a dynamic composition, or used to hold a single striking branch. Surrounded by wood, natural fibers, and muted tones, the vase will underscore its artistic character. Height: 28 cm, base diameter: 8 cm. Material: glazed ceramic. Smooth surface; textural effect achieved by glaze
