This striking, large mid-century West German jug vase is a superb example of bold 1960s–70s ceramic design. Finished in a vibrant burnt orange glaze with dramatic black lava relief decoration, it perfectly captures the expressive style that made West German pottery so collectable worldwide.
Standing an impressive 40cm tall and 20cm wide, the vase features a strong cylindrical form, flared neck, and integrated handle, making it ideal as a sculptural floor or statement vase. The textured raised spiral and wave detailing adds depth and contrast against the smooth orange ground, creating visual impact from every angle.
Marked to the base “408-40 W Germany”, this piece was produced during the golden era of West German ceramics and remains highly sought after by collectors of mid-century modern interiors. A timeless decorative piece that works beautifully in both minimalist and eclectic spaces.
