#2216 West German Fat Lava ceramic vase with orange, white, and brown glazes 8” x 5” Carstens 1979
No chips or cracks Small manufacturing irregularity as photographed The 'Fat Lava' pottery style emerged in West Germany during the post-war economic boom, becoming particularly popular in the 1960s and 1970s. This distinctive aesthetic, characterized by its thick, textured glazes that often resemble molten lava, was a hallmark of many West German ceramic manufacturers. These pieces were designed to be bold and decorative, reflecting the era's embrace of vibrant colors and unconventional forms. Manufacturers like Bay Keramik, Carstens Tonnieshof, and Scheurich produced a wide array of these eye-catching vases, pitchers, and decorative objects. The style's popularity has seen a resurgence among collectors of mid-century modern and retro design, appreciating their unique craftsmanship and expressive glazes. The ribbed base and the applied lava-like elements are typical design features found on many of these sought-after pieces.
