What is German pottery called?
1 Answer
What German pottery is called depends on its style. Pieces with embossed surfaces and thick, chunky glaze produced in West Germany are nicknamed "Fat Lava." Hard-paste porcelain produced in Germany is sometimes referred to as Meissen or Dresden porcelain, depending on its manufacturer. Early 20th-century pieces that show off naturalistic motifs inspired by the Art Nouveau movement may be called Jugendstil pottery. Shop a large collection of German pottery on 1stDibs.
