German Fat Lava Style Colored and Glazed Ceramic Pitcher with Handle

Particular and original German colored ceramic pitcher; it has an innovative and modernist shape; the beautiful and vibrant colors are balanced and proportioned respecting a minimalist design; the glazing of the pitcher was obtained by first laying a color, proceeding to fix it by firing in the oven, then the same process was performed for the other colors; very unusual is the beautiful and seductive white glaze resembling a fresh icing and the lively effect of red casting! The mark on the bottom tells us that the object was created in a limited series, the jug is number 484 and 30 is the model number; was produced between 1968 and 1971 in a craft workshop in the city of Dresden, (then in West Germany), an important center for the production of porcelain and ceramics. "Fat lava" is the name given to a certain style of West-German art pottery spread in the post-war period characterized by an extravagant amount of shapes, glazes, textures, and typical colors ranging from dark brown to orange, from forest green to cobalt blue, from ruby red to canary yellow; the production strategy of the artisans of this style implied rather simple and rigorous shapes that in a combination of all the different decorations and colored glazes gave rise to a very wide range of pieces. Our pitcher has beautiful and harmonious proportions, and because of this strong personality can be placed in any style of furniture. The jug is in excellent condition. Measures width cm.25, depth cm. 25, height cm.31. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
