This 1970s "chimney" vase features the vibrant "Tanger" decor. It has a crisp white base with bold purple splashes that create a really striking, modern look. The smooth, glossy finish makes it a standout piece that feels light and fresh compared to the heavier pottery of that time.
The unique rectangular shape with a tall opening makes it a great decorative accent. It’s perfect for holding a few stems or just sitting on a shelf as a piece of art. This vase is a wonderful example of the playful, experimental style that West German makers explored during the later Fat Lava years.
Marei Keramik was founded in 1948 and became famous for its wide variety of West German pottery. While they are often associated with earthy, volcanic textures, their "Tanger" series showed off their talent for using bright, contrasting colors and clean shapes. Collectors today love these chimney vases for their artistic design and retro flair.
This vase with form number 2003 ( not visible) is in excellent condition.
