Product description
This piece is a large ceramic bowl or vide-poche, a characteristic example of West German production from the 1970s. Its organic shape and reactive glaze make it an iconic decorative object of this design period. Made of glazed ceramic, this bowl bears the marking "WEST GERMANY" and the model number "442" on its base, confirming its origin and authenticity. The color palette is particularly distinctive, with a complex glaze that combines shades of gray, black, and bright yellow on a cream background. The glazing technique creates an abstract and textured pattern, typical of the "Fat Lava" style that was popular at the time. The overall condition of the piece is good, in accordance with its age. It shows a fine network of crazing over the entire glazed surface, a common phenomenon that adds character and testifies to its history. The structure of the bowl is solid, and it has retained the brilliance of its original colors. This object will perfectly find its place as a centerpiece on a coffee table, an entrance console, or a sideboard in a Mid-Century Modern, vintage, or eclectic interior. It can serve as a decorative fruit bowl or an elegant vide-poche.
