This large floor vase comes from Scheurich, one of the biggest names to come out of the country's fat-lava-era pottery boom, and it shows off exactly the kind of bold, tactile design the era is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe body alternates deep, glossy green bands with a heavily dimpled, hobnail-style texture against warm burnt-orange bands stamped with a repeating floral medallion pattern. A ribbed green collar finishes the neck. It's a big, confident piece that reads as sculpture as much as vessel — the kind of thing that anchors a room on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge floor vase, cylindrical form with a ribbed neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternating glossy green (textured, hobnail-effect) and burnt-orange (embossed floral) bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstantial scale — statement-piece sized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoulded maker's marks typical of Scheurich production on the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in West Germany, 1960s–70s fat lava era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Scheurich\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eScheurich began in 1928 as a glass and porcelain wholesale business, founded by cousins Alois Scheurich and Fridolin Greulich, and moved into ceramic production of its own in the 1950s. By the 1960s and '70s, the company had become one of West Germany's largest and most prolific pottery manufacturers, turning out vases, jugs, planters, and — above all — the large, boldly glazed floor vases the \"fat lava\" era is best remembered for. Scheurich's designers leaned into rich colour and heavy surface texture, and pieces like this one are a great, accessible entry point for anyone drawn to that distinctive West German look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA piece this scale makes a real statement in a Mid-Century Modern living room or entryway anywhere in Toronto or across Ontario — set on the floor beside a credenza or sofa, it does the work of a sculpture while still functioning as a vase.
