Mini Story or Hook:

Straight from the bold design era of the 1960s and 70s, this West German Scheurich vase is a classic example of the Fat Lava movement. The fiery red glaze melts into volcanic black drips, contrasted against earthy beige tones — a style that brought German ceramics worldwide acclaim. At 22cm, this piece is perfect as a standalone statement or as part of a Fat Lava collection.
