FAT LAVA Vase 220302JV_023_40

Material: Ceramic

A vintage Fat Lava ceramic vase from West Germany, made by Jopeko Keramik in the 1960s-1970s.

It features a rounded body, a wide, flared rim, and a sturdy handle, giving it a stable and elegant form.

The glaze, which transitions from a glossy black rim to a body blending blue-green and reddish-brown, displays different expressions depending on the viewing angle, creating a deep and contrasting color.

The surface has a fine, speckled texture, and combined with the thick glaze characteristic of Fat Lava, it results in a substantial and impressive finish.

Although mass-produced, there are individual differences in the flow and color of the glaze, making each piece unique and appealing—a charm of West German vintage ceramics.

This West German Fat Lava style vintage ceramic vase is not only a practical item for arranging flowers, but also a striking object that adds a touch of elegance to any space.

Jopeko (Yopeko/Yopeko) Keramik was a ceramics manufacturer active in West Germany during the 1960s and 1970s. They produced many Fat Lava style vases, characterized by thick glazes, unique colors, and rounded forms.
