What is a fat lava glaze?
1 Answer
A fat lava glaze refers to a specific type of very thick, lava-like glaze that were commonly used by West German potteries from 1949-1990. Fat lava is sometimes used as a synonym for all West German pottery, although only some examples have the true fat lava style.
