AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Large Mid-Century 'Fat Lava' Wall Plaque – Floral Relief (Ruscha Keramik, c. 60s/70s)
For sale: A stunning, large vintage ceramic wall plaque in a striking Mid-Century Modern and Brutalist style. This iconic piece is attributed to the renowned German manufacturer Ruscha Keramik (West Germany) and is a wonderful example of the beloved 'Fat Lava' period from the 1960s and 1970s.
With an impressive size of 54 x 18 cm, this is a rarer, larger model. The plaque features a very expressive, thick and rough glaze in dark earth tones as a background. This forms a fantastic contrast with the glossy, vividly colored flowers (red, orange and yellow) that lie in high relief on the base. Thanks to the sturdy metal chain at the top, the piece can be hung directly. An absolute eyecatcher for any retro, vintage or eclectic interior!
Condition: In very good vintage condition.
(Attention: please inspect the photos carefully for the exact glaze details).
Dimensions: 54 cm (height) x 18 cm (width) x 5.5 cm (thickness)
