AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Monumental floor vase "Fat Lava" – Scheurich Keramik (West Germany, 1960s-70s)

Imposing vintage ceramic floor vase from the famous West German manufacturer Scheurich Keramik, dating from the 1960s-70s. This exceptional piece measuring 53 cm in height embodies the quintessence of the "Fat Lava" style (thick glaze) and brutalist design. Its impressive weight of 5.6 kg testifies to very robust artisanal craftsmanship.

Design Details

· Material and Texture: A striking two-tone finish that blends an extremely textured black and ochre glaze (Crusty effect) at the lower part, with a wide raised graphic belt. The latter alternates large amber-colored glossy circles and black geometric patterns, creating an architectural contrast of materials.
· Monumental Format: Its slender, cylindrical silhouette at 25 cm diameter is designed to be a unique focal point, ideal for large floral arrangements or as a sculpture in its own right.

Origin and Authenticity

· Marking: Serial number 284-53 and the inscription "W.-GERMANY" stamped under the base, certifying its authenticity and post-war German production.

Condition

· Very good condition, with no cracks or chips apparent. Colors vibrant and glaze intact, preserving its original brilliance.
