A distinctive and original coloured German ceramic jug. It has an innovative, modernist shape; the beautiful, vibrant colours are balanced and proportioned in keeping with a minimalist design. The glazing of the jug was achieved by first laying down one colour and firing it in the kiln, then the same process was carried out for the other colours. Very difficult to achieve is the speckled colouring, beautiful is the dripping effect of the vibrant red shade. The mark on the bottom tells us that the object was created in a limited series, the jug is number 484 and 21 is the model number; it was produced in Germany between 1968 and 1971 by the Scheurich Company (see sticker). Founded in 1928 by the visionary Alois Scheurich, this German company conquered the art world. Specialising in decorative and functional ceramic vases and jugs, it has gained a cult following among collectors and enthusiasts. Their objects are true masterpieces, displaying impeccable craftsmanship, unique designs and revolutionary glazing techniques. Each model they create tells its own captivating story, with distinctive features and fascinating motifs. Fat Lava' is the name given to a certain style of West German art pottery popular in the post-war period and characterised by an extravagant amount of typical shapes, glazes, textures and colours ranging from dark brown to orange, forest green to cobalt blue, ruby red to canary yellow; the production strategy of the craftsmen of this style involved rather simple and strict shapes which, in combination with all the different decorations and coloured glazes, resulted in a very wide range of pieces. Our jug has beautiful and harmonious proportions and, thanks to this strong personality, can be incorporated into any style of décor. The jug is in excellent condition. It measures 22 cm in diameter, 24 cm in height. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) to ensure maximum protection and safety of the items.
