A bold West German Fat Lava planter produced by Bay Keramik during the 1960s–1970s. This example is model 887-22, impressed to the base alongside “W. Germany”, confirming period and origin.
The planter features a striking high-relief floral band in deep red, set against a dark brown and black ground with characteristic lava-like texture. The thick, glossy glaze and sculptural decoration are emblematic of Bay Keramik’s celebrated Fat Lava output.
A strong decorative piece of Mid-Century West German ceramics, ideal as a planter or as a standalone display object.
