With an impressive height of 48 cm and a diameter of 15 cm, this model significantly exceeds standard dimensions and possesses an immense architectural and sculptural presence in any space. The cascading “Stacked Globes” form perfectly captures the essence of futuristic Space Age design.
The masterful effect glaze captivates with its unique texture: against a deep, reflective base in dark bottle green, a dense, sharply contrasting spotted foam glaze unfolds. The almost crystalline-looking emerald green and white speckles lend the organic form a breathtaking visual dynamism and depth.
Art-historical context: A touch of Abstract Expressionism
While the lamp’s three-tiered form embodies the futuristic spirit of the Space Age, the dramatic, eruptive glaze evokes the emotional depth of Abstract Expressionism. The seemingly uncontrolled interplay of deep, dark hues and the wild, emerald-green foam flakes lends the surface the dynamism of a three-dimensional, expressionist work of art. An absolute statement piece for collectors seeking the interplay of sculptural design and expressive art ceramics.
An exclusive art object from the West German Pottery era that serves as an unmissable focal point in upscale, eclectic, or modern-luxury interiors.
