AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Brutalist vase “Fat Lava” – Gräflich Ortenburg (Model 6351) – Hand-thrown – Germany, c. 1960/1970
Superb and rare double-handled brutalist vase from the famous German manufactory Gräflich Ortenburg (Tambach), produced in the late 1960s or early 1970s.
This model (catalog reference 6351) stands in stark contrast to the industrial productions of the time: it is a piece shaped and thrown by hand, as evidenced by the turning marks and the perfectly visible concentric circles at its base. The model number has been fully incised with a freehand tip, a typical signature of this workshop.
The aesthetics of this piece are truly spectacular. With its bright orange glaze drips on a rough, cratered black base, this vase has a volcanic texture so organic that it seems to have come straight from a underwater excavation, evoking an ancient amphora covered by the concretions of time.
Dimensions:
• Height: 21.5 cm
• Width: 19 cm
Condition: Excellent overall condition.
- No cracks, no chips, no restorations to report.
- The glazes and textures are pristine.
Careful packaging with bubble wrap and packing materials.
