This vintage Bay Keramik vase, model 68-20, showcases the distinctive style of West German ceramics from the 1960s.

The vibrant red glaze is adorned with raised green floral patterns, creating a lively and slightly textured surface. The interior is glazed in a light brown hue, providing a subtle contrast to the bold exterior.

This early version of the 68-20 model is relatively rare, reflecting Bay Keramik's approach of reusing form numbers with design variations over time. A fine example of mid-century West German pottery, this vase embodies the era's bold aesthetics.

Origin & Maker

Bay Keramik, established in 1933 in Germany, is renowned for its vibrant, artistic ceramics that became iconic in the mid-20th century. The company thrived during the 1960s and 70s, when it embraced the "Fat Lava" style, characterised by thick, textured glazes and bold, organic shapes. Influential designers like Bodo Mans played a significant role in shaping the brand's aesthetic, creating pieces that are now highly collectible.

The ceramics produced by Bay Keramik reflect various artistic movements, including Art Deco and Modernism, showcasing innovative techniques and rich colours. The interplay of form and function is evident in their work, with items ranging from decorative vases to functional kitchenware, such as the famous Römertopf clay cooking pot.

Bay Keramik's commitment to craftsmanship and creativity has ensured its legacy within the world of ceramics. Today, their pieces are cherished by collectors and vintage enthusiasts, symbolising a vibrant era of design that continues to inspire.
