Vintage Übelacker Fat Lava Vase, Model 1444/18 – West German Pottery
A striking Fat Lava vase by Übelacker Keramik (Ü-Keramik), one of the most collected names in West German studio pottery. This is the sought-after "chimney" form, model 1444/18 — a shape prized by mid-century pottery collectors for its clean architectural silhouette and bold glaze work.
The glaze moves through rich purple, pink, and warm tan tones, pooling and layering across the surface in the textured, volcanic style that gives Fat Lava its name. No two pieces glazed this way are quite alike, which is part of what makes original Fat Lava so collectible today.
Equally at home as a sculptural object on its own or holding a small floral arrangement, this piece captures the bold, experimental spirit of 1960s–70s West German ceramic design.
