Bay Keramik 'Fat Lava' Vase

c. 1960s–70s

Substantial West German 'Fat Lava' (Fettlava) vase by Bay-Keramik-Fabrik Bodo Mans of Ransbach-Baumbach. Cream stoneware base with a dripping amber-caramel glaze band and characteristic wavy scalloped flow line. Impressed marks to base: 'BAY • W-GERMANY • 240 40' (form 240, height 40 cm). A bold, large-format example of the West German Pottery movement that defined European mid-century ceramics. Excellent condition.
