Vintage Fat Lava ball vase – West German studio ceramics – 1970s

Vintage Fat Lava ball vase – West German studio ceramics – 1970s

This vintage Fat Lava globe vase is a compact yet distinctive piece of West German studio ceramics from the 1970s. The vase has a striking lava texture with deep brown and black tones layered on top of each other. The glaze is irregular, with a tactile texture that reveals a different nuance on each side. The opening is glazed smoother and darker, creating a beautiful contrast with the rough texture beneath.

The spherical shape gives the vase a calm, powerful appearance. With a 6.5 cm opening, it's ideal for a single branch or dried flower, but it also stands strong as a purely decorative piece.

Fat lava ceramics are known for their rich glaze and texture, and are prized for the artisanal look that makes each piece unique.
This piece is a beautiful example of that style: warm, organic and timeless.

Styling tip from Noii HOME:
Place this vase on a wooden shelf or sideboard and combine it with ceramics in sand and earth tones. The texture looks particularly beautiful alongside matte surfaces and brass accessories.
