ABOUT PRODUCTID 15344
The 'Fat Lava' model 466/18 ceramic pitcher originates from Germany in the 1960s and stands as a quintessential example of mid-century modern design. Crafted from glazed ceramic in a vivid, saturated orange, its glossy surface forms a striking backdrop for the prominent band of deep brown, nearly black 'lava' glaze—an iconic textural motif of the Fat Lava movement. This tactile, irregular relief encircles the vessel's midsection, creating a strong visual and sensorial contrast against the smooth background. The form features a low, wide, bulbous body leading to a narrow neck and a pronounced collar, while a single, robust handle seamlessly integrates into the shape with an organic curve. The rim is accented by a thin, uneven line of brown glaze, echoing the lava effect. Presented in excellent vintage condition, the piece shows no visible flaws, chips, or repairs, only minimal signs of age consistent with carefully preserved, authentic mid-century ceramics.
The vessel speaks aloud with the language of 1960s German modernism: bold, exuberant color and sensual texture are its manifest. The glossy, luminous orange glaze radiates the exuberance of postwar optimism, while the organic lava relief appears as if the dynamic force of nature has been captured in a crafted object. The tactile interplay offers both industrial precision and an almost volcanic vitality, suggesting a story where domestic function meets the drama of material—like magma stilled and made permanent.
Placed in an interior, this pitcher brings strong graphic energy and a sense of curatorial intent. It may be displayed atop a low sideboard in pale or dark
