with its striking height of 39 cm and a diameter of 21 cm (width with handle: 26 cm), it immediately draws attention. The bold red and black contrast of the glaze is in typical Fat Lava tradition: thick, textured, and almost volcanic in its feel and appearance.

A special highlight is the rare horse racing car motif – stylized and worked in relief, it lends the vase a narrative quality that sets it apart from other Fat Lava objects. The side handle harmoniously rounds off the powerful silhouette.

Stylistically, this piece occupies a position between Brutalism, Mid-Century Modern, and the experimental studio pottery of the post-war period.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition with typical, minimal signs of age-related wear. No cracks or chips.

An exceptional collector's item – expressive, rare, and decorative. Ideal for Fat Lava enthusiasts and fans of distinctive 1960s/1970s ceramics. See less
