This is a vintage ceramic vase by Fohr Keramik, made in West Germany between the 1960s and 1970s. It features a stable form with a rounded body, a short neck, and handles.
The design is striking with its bold contrast, featuring a vibrant red glaze base from which black, lava-like glaze flows down from the top. The thick fat lava glaze gives it a unique texture and three-dimensionality, allowing for a rich visual experience depending on the viewing angle and lighting. The dark glaze on the inside brings the whole piece together.
This piece has a strong presence, making it an excellent accent for any space, whether used as a single flower vase or displayed as an objet d'art. Its design complements mid-century and vintage modern interiors well. It is a work that showcases the powerful glaze expression unique to the West German period.
This is a good vintage item with no cracks, chips, or other damage. However, as it is a vintage item from the 1960s-1970s, there may be some age-related scuffs, minor scratches, or glaze inconsistencies. Please understand these as part of its charm before purchasing.
