Scheurich West German Pottery Vase 281-39 – Large Mid-Century Fat Lava Floor Vase

£145.00

A striking large-scale West German pottery vase by Scheurich, model 281-39, dating to the 1960s–1970s.

This sculptural piece is finished in a rich earthy brown glaze with cascading cream volcanic drip decoration, a defining characteristic of the celebrated Fat Lava period. The expressive surface combined with its architectural form creates a strong visual presence, making it an ideal statement piece for contemporary or mid-century interiors.

The broad, grounded body rises into a narrow cylindrical neck, giving the vase a balanced yet bold silhouette. Its scale allows it to work beautifully as a floor vase or as a standalone decorative object.

A highly collectible example of West German ceramic design, particularly in this larger format.
