ABOUT PRODUCTID 15970
The Fat Lava No. 339 plate, produced by Bay Keramik in Germany during the 1960s, is a distinct example of mid-century European ceramics. Its construction features a soft triangular shape with gently rounded corners and slightly raised, inward-arching rims. The dominant hue is a light beige with a matte, subtly speckled finish, enlivened by expressive splashes of yellow and blue. Hand-applied abstract accents and clusters of earthy brown detail evoke the 'fat lava' style, achieved through contrasting, irregularly textured glazes. The ceramic body presents a pronounced, tactile roughness that accentuates the material’s raw appeal. Constructional details, such as smoothly finished edges and the evenness of the glaze layer, reveal the craftsmanship typical of German manufactories of this era. Preserved in excellent condition; no visible damage or signs of significant wear. This plate echoes the 1960s, a time when European design explored the interplay between function and expressive artistry—its visible, gestural decoration is reminiscent of a ceramic experiment in which every brushstroke preserves a trace of the creator’s hand. The robust surface reads like the epoch itself: value lies in contrast, in playful forms, and in the natural honesty of the material. The beige clay is punctuated with bold tones, a quiet dialogue between serenity and the joy characteristic of postwar aesthetic explorations. The Fat Lava No. 339 plate can be paired with minimalist dinnerware or a collection of more organic, varied forms. It would work well atop an oak surface or shelf in a light-filled living room, bringing forth the informal, artistic quality of mid-century
