Large Fat Lava German Pottery Floor Vase
Beautiful large and heavy West German pottery vase with vivid textural "Fat Lava" glaze attributed to Scheurich.

The lava-type glazes and bright colours were designed and created around the 1970’s.
Weighing over 5kg and over 46cm in height, it stands tall on the floor or sits majestically on a sideboard or shelf. In great condition.
Dimensions: approx 465mm (H) x 290mm (W)
Scheurich
Historically, most Scheurich items had no company mark, just numbers and W. or West Germany (where space is short this is sometimes abbreviated to germ). Numbers are usually separated by “-”. Occasionally where space is limited numbers are placed on two lines and sometimes W Germany was omitted.
- Design: Dark green ceramic body with a vibrant mustard band of lava-style glaze.
- Era: Mid-century modern, a hallmark of West German pottery design.
- Dimensions: Large and imposing, perfect as a statement piece.
- Craftsmanship: Hand-painted details ensure each piece is unique.
Styling Tips:
- Display it on a wooden surface to emphasise its natural tones and textures.
- Use it as a standalone decor item or pair it with other mid-century modern pieces for a cohesive look.
- Ideal for living rooms, dining areas, or as a focal point in an entryway.
