Volcano Glaze Midcentury Pottery Ceramic Plant Pot

Small Midcentury West German style blue, red and black plant pot:

This midcentury West German style pottery piece is a real work of art. The combinations of red and blue just create a beautiful visual. The colors and textures all create such movement and visual interest. We love the volcano style glaze used back in the 50's and 60's. This piece doesn't have the makers mark, but has the classic vintage style.

West German pottery plant pots, also known as "Fat Lava" pots, are a type of ceramic pottery that was popular in the mid-20th century. They were produced in West Germany from the 1950s to the 1970s, during the post-World War II era of economic growth and prosperity.

The pots were typically made from a type of clay called "redware," which was fired at high temperatures to make it durable and waterproof. The glazes used on West German pottery plant pots were often thick and textured, giving the pots a distinctive "lava" or "crater" appearance.

Many West German pottery plant pots featured bright, bold colors, including shades of orange, red, yellow, and green. They were often decorated with abstract or geometric designs, as well as images of plants, animals, and other natural motifs.

West German pottery plant pots were popular among collectors and design enthusiasts for their unique aesthetic, as well as their high level of craftsmanship. They were often used as decorative accents in homes, offices, and other spaces, and were prized for their ability to add color and texture to a room.
