Vintage West German Pottery Vase - Scheurich 242-22, Mid-Century Modern Fat Lava
About the Item
This vintage West German pottery vase, likely produced by Scheurich, is a beautifully crafted example of the renowned mid-century modern ceramic movement. With its sculptural form and earthy glaze, this piece effortlessly blends timeless design with artistic craftsmanship. Marked ""W. Germany 242-22"", this vase was manufactured during the peak of West German ceramic production in the 1960s–70s, a period known for its innovative glaze techniques and bold, modernist forms.
The glaze features a stunning gradient effect, transitioning from deep chocolate brown at the base to a speckled beige and white towards the top, creating a natural, organic look. This signature glazing style, often associated with the Fat Lava pottery movement, showcases the depth and texture characteristic of West German ceramics. The matte-to-glossy finish enhances the surface texture, giving the vase a unique interplay of light and shadow.
With its graceful cylindrical silhouette and sculpted neck, this vase has a minimalist yet commanding presence, making it an excellent focal point in any interior. Whether displayed as a standalone statement piece or used to hold floral arrangements, this vase complements a variety of styles, including mid-century modern, Scandinavian, rustic, and contemporary interiors.
