Scheurich & Greulich Ceramic Vase - Germany Late 1930s

Pre-war German ceramics with drip glaze that predates Fat Lava

This Scheurich & Greulich vase from late 1930s Germany is a piece of ceramic history. At 24 x 16 cm and 1160 grams, this pre-WWII piece features that gorgeous brown-to-beige drip glaze and sculptural handles that would later inspire the Fat Lava movement. Made in Bavaria before the war changed everything, this is authentic German craftsmanship from an era that defined ceramic design.

Late 30s = pre-war innovation:
Scheurich & Greulich were already experimenting with volcanic glazes and sculptural forms in the late 1930s. This piece shows that early innovation - the drip effect, the organic handles, the earthy tones. It's proto-Fat Lava before Fat Lava was even a thing.

Those sculptural handles:
Dual handles that look like they're melting into the body? That's bold 1930s design. Combined with the textured drip glaze and gold rim, this vase has serious presence.

What you're getting:
A Scheurich & Greulich ceramic vase (24 x 16 cm, 1160 grams) from late 1930s Bavaria. Pre-war drip glaze, sculptural handles, and 85+ years of German ceramic history.

Perfect for:
German pottery collectors, pre-war ceramics fans, or anyone who wants a piece that predates the trends it inspired.

Condition:
85+ years old with honest wear - possible glaze crazing, minor chips, surface marks. But it survived pre-war Germany and that's remarkable.
