Mid Century Modern

Description

This unique West Germany teardrop vase in the Fat Lava style dates back to the mid-century era and was manufactured in West Germany. Its striking shape with a curved handle and geometric color fields in yellow, turquoise, brown, and black are reminiscent of the design aesthetic of the 1950s and 1960s—a touch of Bauhaus meets retro charm. The spatula-finished, glazed surface creates an exciting interplay of order and organic character thanks to its irregular structure combined with clean lines. The vase is not only a decorative object, but also a real design statement – perfect for collectors and mid-century enthusiasts. Its good condition and striking design make this piece a real highlight.
