This 1970s planter features a dramatic "Fat Lava" design with a deep black base and vibrant red dripped decor. The thick, glossy glaze creates a bold contrast that is iconic for this era. It is a striking example of the experimental styles from West German pottery.
The classic shape is perfect for adding a retro touch to your indoor plant collection. Its fiery red tones look particularly beautiful when paired with green foliage. The heavy ceramic build ensures it is a sturdy and high-quality piece.
Fohr Keramik was founded in 1859 and became a major name in the Westerwald pottery scene. During the mid-century, they were well-known for their durable ceramics and creative use of color. Today, their fat lava pieces are highly collectible for their classic vintage look and craftsmanship.
Condition: Good vintage condition. There is a small flaw on the bottom rim, but it is not visible when on display.
