Strehla Keramik Vase, East German Fat Lava Pottery, Vintage Brown Crater Glaze Vase with Gold Repair Line
A characterful vase by Strehla Keramik, the East German pottery known for its bold textured glazes. This piece has the classic “fat lava” crater effect, with rich brown glaze bubbling through a speckled cream-white ground to create a striking, tactile surface.
The vase has a gold line running across one face, marking a decorative repair to a production flaw from the original firing, adding to its handmade character rather than detracting from it.
A compact, sculptural size that works well as a standalone piece or grouped with other studio pottery.
