This Bay Keramik vase, Form 61-17, is a true testament to the legacy of mid-century German pottery.

The lower section displays a striking graphic pattern in light brown, while the upper half is adorned with a soft mint green glaze that gracefully melts into the design below. The curved, wide handle is not only visually striking but also delightful to hold, adding a tactile elegance to this already impressive piece.

Bay Keramik’s emphasis on eye-catching colours and textured surfaces made their ceramics highly sought after during the mid-century modern era, and this piece beautifully embodies that innovative spirit. The fluidity of the mint glaze combined with the rich earth tones of the lower section creates a dynamic contrast, making this vase a perfect statement piece for any interior.

Known for blending modernist aesthetics with intricate craftsmanship, Bay Keramik was one of the most influential German pottery manufacturers from the 1950s to the 1970s. Their designs, often bold and experimental, helped define post-war European ceramic trends. 

Whether you’re a collector of vintage ceramics or simply appreciate high-quality craftsmanship, this vase offers both form and function in a timeless design.

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.
