Description from the seller
Scheurich Fat Lava Vase – West Germany, 1970s
In excellent condition – No reserve.
Striking original fat lava vase by Scheurich Keramik, produced in West Germany circa 1970. This piece features a richly textured, iridescent lava glaze with dramatic color transitions from earthy browns to vibrant blues, characteristic of high-quality German studio ceramics of the period.
The vase has a powerful sculptural presence and a stable, heavy-quality feel. The base is incised and marked, consistent with authentic Scheurich production. A true eye-catcher for collectors of Mid-Century Modern and West German pottery, and an excellent standalone decorative object.
Dimensions: 20 × 10 × 10 cm (h × w × d)
Condition: Excellent vintage condition; no cracks, no chips, no repairs.
Origin: West Germany
Period: 1970s
Material: Glazed ceramic
Provenance: From a private collection
Historical context:
During the late 1960s and 1970s, West German manufacturers such as Scheurich became internationally renowned for their expressive fat lava glazes, embracing bold textures and experimental firing techniques. These ceramics perfectly reflect the era’s shift toward organic forms and tactile surfaces, making them highly collectible today.
A rare and authentic example that will elevate any modern or vintage interior.
