Scheurich - Vase - Ceramic - XL Floor Vase 517-50

Scheurich Model 517-50 Fat Lava Floor Vase: The Sailboat Design This impressive, extra-large ceramic floor vase is a rare and highly sought-after example of West German Pottery (WGP) from the 1970s, specifically manufactured by Scheurich Keramik. Color & Pattern: The vase is defined by its vibrant, abstract "Sailboat Design" décor. A dominant ivory/cream glaze forms the canvas, boldly outlined in black. This is brilliantly contrasted by a vivid palette of crimson (red), cyan (blue/teal), and yellow used to create the dynamic, geometric, sail-like forms. The textural, bubbling quality of the colors is characteristic of the "Fat Lava" glaze technique. Styling & Condition: The imposing, cylindrical, floor-standing form and bold color scheme epitomize the late mid-century/early Pop Art aesthetic. It is in excellent vintage condition and bears its model number (517-50) on the foot. This large-scale piece is a spectacular and compelling centerpiece for any serious WGP collector. Measurements (cm): Height: 50 cm Width: 25 cm Depth: 25 cm Shipping & Handling: All items are carefully packed and dispatched promptly following payment confirmation. Each piece will be packaged with appropriate protective materials and fully insured for transit.
