ABOUT PRODUCTID 30146
This ceramic vase, produced by Scheurich in Germany during the 1960s, embodies the hallmark qualities of West German pottery at the height of its mid-century modern influence. The silhouette is tall and subtly barrel-shaped, with gently rounded sides and a narrow, softly contoured opening, all finished in the iconic Fat Lava glaze. The color palette features a saturated, vivid red, accented by deep orange and irregular black details that create a dynamic, mottled surface rhythm. The thick, glossy glaze amplifies the vibrancy and depth of color while enhancing the visually cratered, textured effect so characteristic of the style. A thin, almost black rim encircles the opening, providing a striking visual contrast to the body. The vase retains its original manufacturer’s label near the top. It is preserved in very good vintage condition, exhibiting only minimal signs of age typical for its era.This vase resonates with the spirit of 1960s German modernism: a time marked by bold experimentation and a pursuit of expressive everyday objects. Fat Lava is more than just a glazing technique—it is a statement of organic form and artistic freedom, seen here in the vibrant interplay of red and black. The piece tells a story of a decade when color and texture became the language of progressive interiors and ceramics emerged as a field for groundbreaking ideas.Within the living room, this vase can serve as a focal point atop a sideboard or shelf, where natural light will reveal the depth of its lustrous glaze and color contrasts. It fits seamlessly into mid-century modern arrangements, especially alongside teak or
