Emons & Sohne ES Keramik Black Fat Lava and Yellow Ceramic Statement Floor Vase, 1960s-70s

PLEASE NOTE: This item is available exclusively online.

This striking work of mid-century design is by Emons & Sohne, ES Keramiks of Germany. The simple ovoid but grand-sized form (c. 35 cm / 13.8" tall) is an excellent canvas for the eye-catching glaze decor. The base glaze is a glossy golden Bumblebee yellow, over which is poured the sumptuous gloss black fat lava. The black fat lava has been applied into a lush texture around the rim and 'shoulders' of the vase and then permitted to run freely down the upper half of the vase, creating the feathered strokes all around the body.

The combination of the size and the contrast in the colour palette, as well as the contrast of textures between the smooth yellow and black fat lava, makes this a rare statement piece.
