About the Item

Mid-Century West German “Fat Lava” Handled Vase in Gray and Amber Glaze, circa 1960s, 1960s West German Studio Pottery Fat Lava Vase with Handle, Gray Volcanic Texture Amber Drip Glaze, Mid-Century Modern West Germany Ceramic Handled Vase with Textured Gray Amber Drip Glaze A striking mid-century West German Studio Pottery “Fat Lava” handled vase, dating from the 1960s. This highly collectable ceramic vessel features the dramatic textural qualities that made West German pottery an international design icon—most notably its volcanic gray “lava” surface paired with a bold amber and black drip-glaze décor. The contrast between the matte cratered texture and the glossy cascading glaze gives the vase a strong sculptural presence. The elongated neck, integrated handle, and tall, elegant silhouette highlight the Minimalist and Modernist sensibilities of the period. This piece exemplifies the techniques popular among leading West German manufacturers of the era—using thick, cratered glazes, expressive color palettes, and hand-applied decorative accents. Its warm earth tones and organic form make it a perfect complement to Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Scandinavian, Brutalist, or Minimalist interiors. Ideal as a standalone sculptural object or for displaying floral arrangements. Bears the original maker’s mark on the underside.

Fat Lava Style German Colored Ceramic Glazed Vase

Located in Prato, Tuscany

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Particular and original German ceramic vase colored with a beautiful shade of red and a dark and vivid black; it has a simple shape but at the same time innovative and modernist; the beautiful and bright colors are balanced and proportioned respecting a minimalist design; the glazing of the vase was obtained by first laying down one color, proceeding to fix it by firing it in the kiln, then the same procedure was carried out for the other color; on the bottom is the mark "W. Germany"; it was produced between 1968 and 1971 in a craft workshop in the city of Dresden (then in East Germany), an important center for the production of porcelain and ceramics. "Fat lava" is the name given to a certain style of East German art...
