About the Item

This 20th-century German Fat Lava ceramic jug embodies the bold, expressive aesthetic that defined West German pottery in the mid-century era. Its rounded form and sculptural handle provide a classic foundation for the dramatic glaze treatment that follows. The upper section features a vibrant, glossy purple glaze, rich in tone and depth, while the lower body transitions into a deep matte black. Between these two surfaces lies a striking band of heavily textured Fat Lava glaze—thick, cascading, and volcanic in appearance—combining white, charcoal, and black tones in dynamic relief. The contrast between smooth and cratered textures heightens the jug’s visual impact, making it both a collectible and a statement piece. Ideal for mid-century, eclectic, or contemporary interiors, this jug highlights the artistry and experimentation central to the Fat Lava movement.
