Mid-Century Glit Iceland Lava Pottery Vase Red 23.5cm Volcanic Studio Ceramic

Capture the rugged, dramatic beauty of Icelandic geology with this stunning, highly collectible mid-century modern "Fat Lava" studio pottery vase from the renowned Glit studio in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Designed in the 1960s by the legendary Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson, this specific piece features a vibrant, glossy crimson-red upper body that beautifully contrasts with a thick, heavily textured volcanic crust encircling the midsection.

What makes Glit pottery truly unique is the integration of genuine Icelandic volcanic ash, pumice, and crushed lava rock straight into the clay body and glazes—making this a true physical piece of Iceland’s volcanic history.
