About the Item

This 20th-century German “Fat Lava” ceramic jug embodies the bold, textural aesthetic that defined West German pottery during the mid-century era. Its distinctive form features a ribbed, tapering neck and a rounded body, complemented by a sculptural handle that emphasizes its functional roots. The surface showcases a dramatic band of vibrant red lava glaze, bubbling with volcanic texture and framed by deep black and mossy green tones that highlight the jug’s layered, tactile finish. The contrast between the smooth upper section and the heavily cratered lower glaze creates a dynamic visual interplay characteristic of the Fat Lava movement. Signed “W. Germany,” this jug stands as a striking decorative object—ideal for collectors and for adding a punch of color and mid-century artistry to any interior.
