Authentic vintage Dümler & Breiden fat lava ceramic pitcher, model 113/23, produced in West Germany during the 1960s–1970s.
This sculptural handled form features a dramatic high-contrast glaze: creamy ivory volcanic lava cascading over a deep glossy charcoal-black base. The textured surface, organic drip transitions, and strong silhouette make this piece a true statement example of West German pottery.
The base is clearly marked 113/23 W Germany, confirming model and height (23 cm).
Whether displayed as a pitcher, vase, or standalone sculptural object, this piece adds bold mid-century character to any interior.

Why This Piece Stands Out
The 113 series is known for its elegant, slightly flared neck and balanced proportions. The glaze combination on this example is particularly successful — strong lava texture with excellent contrast and depth.
It works beautifully in:
-Mid-century interiors
-Brutalist styling
-Minimal modern spaces need one bold object
