1970s Modernist Olive Green Fat Lava Ceramic German Jug Vase

About the Item

This Fat Lava Ceramic German Jug Vase is a striking example of the bold, sculptural designs characteristic of West German pottery from this era. Known for their use of thick, textured glazes and organic shapes, these "Fat Lava" ceramics stand out for their tactile surfaces and distinctive color palettes. This particular vase has a jug-like shape, with a broad, rounded body and a narrow neck that flares slightly at the top. It features a single handle attached to the neck, adding both a functional and decorative element. The olive green glaze is deep and earthy, varying in shade across the surface due to the textured finish. Darker areas pool in the recesses, while lighter, more vibrant tones appear on the raised portions, adding depth and visual interest. The overall effect is dynamic, with the green glaze evoking natural landscapes, perhaps reminiscent of moss-covered rocks or forested terrain. This vase, with its bold shape, rich texture, and vibrant color, is both an artistic statement and a functional piece, embodying the modernist approach of West German pottery in the 1970s. Its earthy yet avant-garde aesthetic makes it a standout example of mid-century modern ceramics. The Vase it's in perfect condition.
