About the Item

This elegant West German Scheurich 1218-25 ceramic vase beautifully captures the mid-century modern aesthetic with its sleek form, warm tones, and distinctive glaze technique. Produced in West Germany during the 1960s–1970s, this piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship that made Scheurich one of the leading names in the “Fat Lava” and mid-century pottery movement. The vase features a gently flared neck and rounded body, enhanced by a rich caramel and ochre glaze accented with fine, hand-applied horizontal striations that create a woodgrain-like visual texture. A subtle ivory-white vertical drip provides a bold contrast against the earthy hues, adding artistic movement to the surface. The glossy finish enhances its natural warmth, while the interior reveals a striking teal glaze, a hallmark of Scheurich’s attention to detail and color harmony. The underside is embossed “W. Germany 1218-25,” indicating both its model and height in centimeters. Standing at approximately 25 cm tall, this vase is the perfect scale for tabletop or shelf display—whether used as a functional vessel for floral arrangements or as a sculptural accent in a retro-inspired interior. It embodies the essence of mid-century European design: simple, organic, and timelessly stylish. A wonderful collector’s item and a versatile decor piece, this vase complements both modernist and rustic interiors, adding a touch of authenticity and understated sophistication.
