About the Item

An extraordinarily rare and monumental 66 cm (26 inches) tall West German Fat Lava floor vase, showcasing a masterclass in mid-century experimental ceramics. This museum-quality statement piece immediately commands attention with its impressive oversized proportions and spectacular, brutalist-inspired form. What elevates this specific piece to a true collector’s holy grail are the two unique, fully functional movable handles—an incredibly sophisticated and virtually unseen design feature crafted entirely out of heavy ceramic. The vase features a dramatic, highly tactile cratered glaze in a deep volcano-red and volcanic-earth tone palette, beautifully mimicking natural cooling magmatic stone. The lower body boasts a heavily encrusted, heavily bubbled "fat lava" texture that contrasts brilliantly with the subtler, smoother taper of the neck and flared rim. A standout masterwork for serious connoisseurs of West German Art Pottery, interior designers, and curated mid-century modern spaces.Dimensions:Height: 66 cm (approx. 26 inches) Condition:Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or restorations. The movable ceramic mechanisms are fully intact and functional.
