Decorative vase with an enameled border from the German manufacturer Scheurich Keramik. Made of glazed ceramic, this vase features an elongated and stylized silhouette, with a body that narrows towards the center, reminiscent of a bottle shape. The exterior finish of the ceramic is beige with a ribbed texture, evoking a rustic and artisanal look. The interior has a glossy black glaze. The most striking feature is the central decorative frieze: a turquoise blue enamel band decorated with a black wavy pattern, dotted with small coral red points, which add a vibrant touch. The chromatic contrast between the earthy base and the lively colored details of the border creates an interesting visual dichotomy.
About “Fat Lava” and Scheurich Keramik:
Fat Lava ceramic is one of the most iconic styles of mid-20th century German design, characterized by its volcanic textures, dense glazes, and bold forms. Key to this style was the incorporation of organic forms and modernist geometries into the use of enamel, through which the aim was to recreate hardened lava flows, mineral bubbles, and abstract landscapes.
Scheurich Keramik, one of the most prolific manufacturers of the period known as West German Pottery (WGP), was key in the development and popularization of this style.
The company was founded in 1923 in Germany and began by selling wholesale porcelain and glass tableware. It wasn't until the 1950s that Scheurich began producing ceramics. In the 1960s, the "Fat Lava" era began with drip glazes with thick textures and glazes with a bubbling crater effect that gave the lava effect. Until the 1980s, Scheurich was the largest ceramic manufacturer in West Germany. The five digits engraved on the base of the vases indicate the shape and size. For example, in the digits 525-50, "525" represents the shape, while "50" indicates that the vase is 50 cm high. More recent ceramics have a three-circle mark engraved on the base of the pieces. Scheurich remains one of the main German ceramic producers today.
