On offer is a striking mid-century hand painted pottery vase by Scheurich Keramik, one of the leading names in West German art pottery during the 1950s to 1970s. This authentic West German vase, model 1506-21, showcases the bold, sculptural design and experimental glazing techniques that defined the Fat Lava era, and remains a collectible icon of mid-20th-century European design.

Crafted from terracotta and finished with a combination of hand-incised horizontal striations and vividly applied raised drip glaze detailing in orange, white, blue, and yellow, this piece exemplifies the post-war drive toward artistic individuality and modern abstraction in utilitarian forms. The dual-tone banding—with a matte green and beige section over a raw clay lower—adds exceptional texture and dimension. The interior is finished with a deep green gloss glaze, providing a refined contrast to the exterior’s earthy tones.

The base is clearly marked W. Germany 1506-21, identifying the pattern and height (21 cm). This model is particularly sought-after due to its balanced shape, tactile surface, and multicolour abstract decoration. It is in good vintage condition, with minor surface wear commensurate with age and use, as shown in the images.
