RARE Mid-Century West German Pottery Jug Fat Lava Speckled Glaze 1970s

Mid-Century West German Pottery Jug — Fat Lava Speckled Glaze, 1960s–70s

West German fat lava pottery from the 1960s and 1970s is among the most actively collected mid-century ceramic genres in the world, and this small handled jug — standing just 14cm tall and 9cm wide — showcases the characteristic volcanic, high-gloss glaze finish in a warm palette of orange, green, and multicoloured speckle that defines the genre at its most vivid. The ruffled rim adds a note of decorative exuberance consistent with the abstract and atomic aesthetic of the period, and the integrated handle makes this a particularly well-formed piece. Weighing only 100g, this is a compact and finely crafted miniature jug — an ideal introduction to West German art pottery or an appealing addition to an established fat lava collection.
