Is West German pottery worth anything?

1 Answer

Yes, some West German pottery is worth something. Fat Lava-style pieces are particularly popular among some collectors, and there is often a demand for pottery produced by specific West German makers, such as Scheurich, ES Keramik, Ceramano and Ruscha. Generally, the age, style, type and condition will influence how much a particular piece may be worth. To get an estimated value for a particular item, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of West German pottery.
