The Lava glaze ceramics of the 60’s were an extension of the Bauhaus design concept of creating affordable decorative art for mass consumption during the middle of the 20th century. The manufacturing process was simplified with the use of pottery casting moulds and the application of a diverse variety of glazes by the enamelers and glaze technicians. This was combined with applying integrated craft procedures to produce large numbers that maintained an aesthetic appeal of high quality. The first “lava”glaze appeared in 1967, coinciding with the sixties “summer of love”, so the bold colours, textures and vivid abstract styles were really in harmony with the spirit of the era.
This vase is a very rare colour of browns and greys in a matte finish.
