1970s Modernist Fat Lava Purple Black White Ceramic Square Vase by Marei Keramik

About the Item

A rare fat lava ceramic jug vase designed and manufactured in Germany by Marei Keramik. The conditions are excellent. The jug Vase by Marei Keramik is a distinctive and eye-catching piece of ceramic art. Marei Keramik was a renowned ceramics manufacturer based in West Germany during the mid-20th century, known for producing bold and unique designs. This particular vase showcases the characteristic features of the "Fat Lava" style, which was popular during the 1970s. The term "Fat Lava" refers to the thick, lava-like glazes that were applied to the surface of the ceramic pieces, resulting in a vibrant and textured appearance. The vase is square in shape, adding a touch of geometric modernism to its design. Its body is made of ceramic, carefully crafted to create clean lines and sharp corners. The vase stands at a moderate height, allowing it to be displayed prominently on a shelf or table. The color scheme of this vase is a striking combination of purple, black, and white. The dominant color is purple, which is often associated with creativity and spirituality. The purple glaze covers the majority of the vase's surface, creating a rich and deep hue. The black and white accents are used sparingly, adding contrast and visual interest. These colors were often used in Modernist design to create bold and dramatic effects. The surface of the vase is covered in the signature "Fat Lava" glaze, giving it a textured appearance. The glaze is thick and has a rough, lava-like texture, resembling molten lava solidified on the surface. This technique adds depth and dimension to the piece, making it visually dynamic. This Vase by Marei Keramik is a stunning example of ceramic art from that era, highly collectible piece for enthusiasts of mid-century modern design.
