Make a bold architectural statement with this monumental floor vase from the legendary Scheurich Keramik of West Germany. This "extra-large" 45cm model (Form 517-45) is a definitive example of the 1960s-70s Fat Lava movement, a period celebrated for its experimental, tactile, and avant-garde ceramic artistry. The Aesthetic: Finished in a vibrant, high-gloss "Uranium Red," the body is dramatically cinched by a thick, hand-applied band of charcoal volcanic "lava." The cratered, pitted texture of the lava glaze offers a striking tactile contrast to the sleek scarlet glass of the vase, creating a piece that feels both organic and high-modernist. Design & Scale: As a genuine Bodenvase (floor vase), this piece stands at a commanding 17.5 inches. Its substantial weight and broad, cylindrical silhouette make it the ideal focal point for an entryway, a minimalist hearth, or as a corner accent in a curated Mid-Century Modern interior. Condition & Quality: This vase is in excellent vintage condition. The glazes remain deep and saturated with no chips or cracks to the body. As is standard for authentic floor-grade pottery of this weight, there is natural shelf wear on the unglazed base ring, which serves as a testament to its vintage authenticity.
