Fat Lava pottery emerged in West Germany during the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1950s through the 1970s. This style is characterised by its bold textures and vibrant glazes, often resembling molten lava. The term 'Fat Lava' was coined by collectors to describe the thick, textured glazes that were a hallmark of this ceramic movement.
This style and vase have been replicated by Kingston Pottery in Hull; the use of experimental glazes and techniques made each piece unique. These vases are now highly sought after by collectors of mid-century modern design.
