Red Glazed Floor Vase – Scheurich Keramik, 1970s

A tall Scheurich floor vase from the Wien series, executed in glazed ceramic with a deep glossy red finish and subtle lava-like texture. The clean, slightly tapering form gives the piece a strong vertical presence, while the rich glaze adds warmth and depth typical of 1970s West German pottery. Bold in color yet restrained in shape, it reflects the balance of industrial design and expressive surface that made Scheurich such a defining name of the period.

This vase brings a strong color accent without feeling overly decorative. The saturated red glaze gives it energy, while the tall, simple silhouette keeps the look grounded and easy to place. It works especially well with long branches, dried stems, or simply on its own where the glaze can do the work.
