Vintage Bay Keramik West Germany Fat Lava Pitcher Vase Mid Century Pottery

A striking vintage West German pottery pitcher vase attributed to Bay Keramik, dating to the 1960s–1970s Fat Lava era. This sculptural ceramic piece features an elegant pinched silhouette with a distinctive angular handle and asymmetrical sloped rim, finished in a beautifully flowing reactive glaze combining creamy ivory, deep chocolate brown, ochre, and rich oxblood red tones. The dramatic abstract glaze pattern and architectural form make this a standout example of Mid-Century Modern West German art pottery. The vase displays beautifully from every angle and works perfectly as both a decorative object and functional vase. Materials: Glazed ceramic / West German pottery / Reactive drip glaze Marked “West Germany” to the underside.
