Lucia Ware Large Black Ceramic Gondola Planter Vase Style 6008

Dramatic and architectural, this large Lucia Ware gondola planter in glossy black is a bold statement piece for any serious collector or interior display, the formal black glaze giving it a presence that the coloured variants simply cannot replicate.

Produced by Lucia Ware, one of South Africa's most recognisable mid-century ceramic manufacturers, this style 6008 planter vase is the largest in the gondola range, modelled in an elongated gondola-style form with raised curved ends and a generous open planting section. The glossy black glaze gives it a more formal, dramatic character than the coloured variants, making it a strong centrepiece for mantel displays, sideboards or curated South African pottery collections. Large-format Lucia Ware pieces in black are particularly scarce, and the style 6008 in black is among the most striking and collectible of the large gondola variants. This example is in visible condition as shown in the images.
