About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Fat Lava Asbak by Jan Van Erp This vintage ashtray is a strong example of the iconic Fat Lava aesthetic by Dutch ceramicist Jan van Erp. Produced in the mid-20th century, it features a textured black glaze contrasted with a vibrant lava-glazed center in red and orange, enriched with subtle accents of yellow and green. The rectangular shape, with integrated grooved rests on each side, combines practicality with a clear sculptural presence. The bold glazing and tactile surface are characteristic of van Erp’s work, which is appreciated for its expressive textures and confident use of color. Whether displayed as an object or used as intended, this piece reflects the enduring appeal of mid-century Fat Lava ceramics and stands as a distinctive example of West German pottery influenced by Dutch design. The second ashtray - visible on the pictures-, the larger one, is available in our shop
