Featured sick phat lava fruit bowl

hi guys,

i bought this fat lava bowl yesterday, mainly because of the colour

signed KR to base, but cant find a mark like it, German ?

measures 8" diameter

any thoughts appreciated

probably best viewed before you've had your dinner !

 

I've seen much worse, the shape is nice, the glaze....

This is a site with German mcm ceramics marks:

thanks Aj will look into that, it came with a free sick bag which came in handy !

 

Those Germans think of everything, don't they.

 

I don't particularly like it myself, but It seems yellow is quite an uncommon colour for fat lava, as mentioned in this article:

Can you list some the most popular colors used in the glazes? The least common?

Whatever color or color combination you prefer, you’ll find it in West German Pottery. Reds, blues, oranges, and earthtones are frequently found. Greens seem to be a little less common. You’ll find yellow in mottled forms or as an accent, but as a significant part of the glaze, it’s uncommon. (True monotone glazes are generally uncommon in any color.)

 

I like it too !!

 

It is probably the nicest fat lava I've ever seen. I am even willing to forget it is fat lava.

 

agreed

 

I found this one on eBay described as Poole studio pottery Aegean glaze. I’m not sure if that’s right but it does look very similar to yours.

Thats a very cool bowl !

 

Sterling find again house, very similar with the Orange accents

Even if it's not the same maker,(which it looks like it maybe) very very helpful, with glaze Id etc

Brilliant !!

 

Nice!
That explains why it didn't make me feel queasy, like German fat lava does.

 

And means technically that we haven't technically admitted to liking fat lava !

 

Really could have done with a phew emoji then !

 

KR is the Poole decorator's mark. Karen Ryall, 1978-9.

If you look VERY carefully, you may be able to make out a faint black Poole back stamp. The white clay is typical.

 

Thanks obb, top notch !!

 

Most welcome. I've bought a fair few bits of Delphis and Aegean cheap becase people missed the back stamp.
