ABOUT PRODUCTID 32021
This ceramic vase, designed by Bodo Mans for Bay Keramik, exemplifies 1960s West German mid-century modern design. The bulbous body with a narrow neck and a single, curved handle is crafted from ceramic and finished with a high-gloss glaze. The color palette transitions in a striking gradient—from warm yellow at the neck, through orange, to deep red at the base—punctuated by black accents in the relief's recesses and along the rim. The surface is adorned with pronounced raised motifs—stylized floral and geometric patterns—typical of the ‘Fat Lava’ aesthetic. The construction is solid, and the glaze is evenly applied; there are no visible damages, with only minimal age-appropriate signs of use. Condition: very good—the glaze retains its gloss and color intensity. This vase channels the spirit of the 1960s, when German manufacturers boldly experimented with color and texture, fusing expressive form with everyday functionality. Its vibrant hues and sculptural relief seem to tell a story of the era’s joy-seeking optimism, while the lively silhouette echoes a time when design embraced bold gestures. In daylight, the glaze shimmers and the raised decoration becomes a tangible trace of the designer’s hand. The vase can be displayed alongside other vintage ceramics or as a standalone accent on a light wood sideboard to highlight its depth of color. It works well in mid-century modern-inspired interiors, paired with furniture of clean lines, earth-toned accents, and glassware. It may be combined with a period poster or a textile in similar hues, allowing it to catch the eye without overwhelming the space. Dimensions: height approx. 18 cm, width at the widest point approx. 13 cm. The listed price refers to one piece of the product.
