About the Item

A highly sculptural West German ceramic vase by Roth Keramik, model 313, executed in the iconic “Fat Lava” style of the late mid-century period. The piece features a faceted, geometric body rising into a tapered cylindrical neck, accented by a distinctive double-loop handle—an uncommon and visually striking design element. #5357 The surface is finished in a dramatic volcanic black glaze, richly textured with cratered relief, revealing vibrant red pools beneath. This bold contrast and tactile surface exemplify the experimental glazing techniques that defined West German ceramics of the 1960s and 1970s. Both architectural and expressive, this vase serves as a statement object within modern, Brutalist, or postmodern interiors, and stands as a strong example of Roth Keramik’s more sculptural production forms.
