This German wall sconce from the 1970s exemplifies postmodern ceramic design with its sculptural presence and bold use of color. The centerpiece is a vivid, glossy red, coated in a high-gloss glaze, while a wide, irregular rim displays a lava-like pattern in cream, brown, and beige tones. The form is organic and undulating, with a star-shaped, asymmetrical outline and soft lines echoing volcanic inspiration. A metal E27 bulb holder is centrally positioned. The red ceramic area is smooth and highly reflective, contrasted by the rim’s textured, cratered surface characteristic of the 'fat lava' technique. The construction is solid with no visible damage or repairs. The sconce is preserved in very good vintage condition, showing no significant signs of wear.This lamp speaks in the voice of the 1970s, when color and texture began to take on new meaning in German ceramics. Its irregular silhouette and glossy finish evoke experiments with the movement of magma, while the lava motif recalls dynamic natural landscapes. The interplay of color and form suggests that symmetry is unnecessary here—light and material themselves create a narrative of design boldness from that era.The sconce could be paired with furniture featuring clean, decisive lines to highlight its organic shape, or introduced into a neutral interior as a luminous accent. It is well suited to eclectic vintage living spaces, surrounded by ceramics and glass from the 1970s, as well as minimalist settings, where saturated color and texture will be further accentuated. It may be combined with upholstery in warm tones or neutral textiles to draw out the depth of its glaze and palette.The sconce is designed for E27 screw-base bulbs. The ceramic
