West Germany pottery is a term that describes the period from 1949-1990. The country of origin, with numbers indicating shape and size, was often the only "mark" on the bottom.
Although company names are now more well known and many items are attributed to specific makers, the more general term "West German pottery" remains in common use. "Fat Lava" is a popular term that strictly refers to a fairly small glazing subcategory, but is all too often misused as a synonym for West German pottery.
The main producers' work focused on individual decorative designs such as vases, jugs and bowls, rather than crockery. There were relatively many basic shapes made from ordinary clay. These were heavily decorated, with a wide variety of typical enamel effects in more than one color, many with thick pre-formed enamel.
A common style of base marking was "W. Germany", xxx shape number / or - xx height in cm. The manufacturer's name was often worn on a self-adhesive sticker prominently affixed to the product and usually lost.
