A spectacular statement of mid-century brutalist design and vibrant color contrast. This authentic art pottery piece was crafted by the renowned East German manufacturer Strehla Keramik (GDR) during the 1960s or early 1970s. Representing their iconic Model 7232, the vase features a deeply textured, encrusted "Fat Lava" volcanic drip glaze overlay. A frothy, metallic brown and emerald-green glaze frames a strikingly bright, smooth satin-orange central panel. [1] The Design & Appeal: • Flared Skirt Silhouette: The unique structural form tapers up from a sturdy circular foot, expanding drastically outward before gently narrowing into a wide, flared collar rim. • Thick Volcanic Drip: Heavily texturized, bubbling glaze peaks form an organic icicle or jagged sawtooth boundary above and below the orange body panel. • Rare Regional Collectible: While West German pottery flooded global markets, East German Strehla studio pieces were produced behind the iron curtain, making them comparatively harder to find for modern collectors.
