Glazed Ceramic Floor Vase - Scheurich, 1970s

Tall floor vase in glazed ceramic with a vivid orange-red ground and deep blue cratered patterning. The smooth cylindrical form keeps the piece balanced, while the thick lava glaze brings movement, contrast, and a strong 1970s West German presence.

This vase brings instant warmth and rhythm into a room. The saturated glaze works especially well against walnut, teak, chrome, smoked glass, or cream upholstery, and it looks best placed directly on the floor beside a low sideboard, lounge chair, or in an entry corner where the color can fully open up.
