with its imposing height of 51 cm, the vase captivates with its striking, sculptural brutalist design. The heavy ceramic body is characterized by a highly tactile, vertically and horizontally structured groove and relief texture. The exterior is covered with a thick, effervescent "fat lava" glaze in creamy white tones over a dark, earth-toned base. Fine, coarse-grained sand inclusions lend the surface a particularly raw, architectural appearance. In appealing contrast, the interior is smooth and glazed in a warm reddish-brown.

the underside bears the embossed jünger kéramik manufacturer's mark (with the characteristic double-roof symbol), the model number 7870-50, and the inscription w.-germany.

a rare, expressive floor vase and an ideal statement piece for modern, mid-century modern, space age, or brutalist interiors.
