A striking Vintage Scheurich West German Fat Lava Vase dating from the 1960s, showcasing the bold sculptural glazing that made West German pottery an icon of mid‑century design. This example features a dramatic Red and Black Fat Lava glaze, with molten, volcanic textures cascading across the form, a hallmark of Scheurich’s most sought‑after production era.
Scheurich, founded in 1928 in Kleinheubach, became one of the leading makers of West German Art Pottery during the post‑war boom. Their 1960s Fat Lava pieces are celebrated for their expressive surfaces, experimental glazes, and strong Mid‑Century Modern silhouettes. Today, they remain highly collectible for their craftsmanship, colour intensity, and unmistakable retro character.
This vase displays beautifully, with rich colour depth and tactile glaze relief. A classic example of authentic WGP (West German Pottery), ideal for collectors or anyone looking to add a bold mid‑century accent to their interior.
