AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Grand Brutalist art ceramic vase in Fat Lava style, textured glazes, Northern Europe, 1960-1970
Description:
Imposing sculpted art ceramic vase, typical of the avant-garde and organic aesthetics of the 1960s-1970s. A piece with character, part of the great tradition of European modernist productions and the so-called Fat Lava movement.
Lines and silhouette: Oblong, slender, sculptural asymmetric form, featuring an obliquely beveled neck that accentuates its unique architectural profile.
Glaze and texture: The décor is structured by horizontal contrasting bands. It combines chocolate brown metallic-reflective glazes, a wide central mustard-yellow satin band, and upper and lower bands with spectacular molten glazes, characteristic of volcanic mineral pours.
Visual presence: A high-character art object, able to structure a design interior, modern or vintage.
Historical and technical context:
• Era: Mid-20th century (1960s-1970s), golden age of experimental art ceramics in Europe (West Germany / Scandinavian and French ateliers).
• Manufacture: Hand-formed and hand-glazed ceramic, testimony to the era’s technical know-how in layering reactive high-temperature glazes.
Specifications:
• Height: 28.5 cm
• Width/Span: 14 cm
• Weight: 1.7 kg (large and stable piece)
Condition:
The piece is in very good overall condition. The glaze and glaze effects are perfectly preserved. Note the presence of small discreet protective pads under the base (easy to remove if needed).
No cracks or chips.
