This fat lava stoneware vase from Scheurich, is a striking example of mid-century modern 1960s West German pottery, captures the bold spirit of the era. This particular piece, model 203-18, stands 18 cm tall, with a mouth opening diameter of 6 cm and a bottom base diameter of 10 cm. Its glaze is nothing short of mesmerizing, featuring an extraordinary blend of colors. Predominantly brown, dark brown, and light brown, the vase also boasts a bright red stripe running through its center. This vibrant red band is the highlight, drawing attention and adding a dynamic contrast to the earthy tones. The colors on this vase are truly stunning, with the dark brown glaze setting off the bright red central band beautifully. This combination of hues is characteristic of the fat lava style, known for its thick, lava-like glazes and vivid color palettes. The vase is in very good condition, maintaining its charm and authenticity over the years. Underneath, it is marked with "203-18 W. GERMANY," affirming its origin and craftsmanship.
