Made by the Bay Keramik factory in Bavaria, both share the same captivating design: a textured white background traversed by horizontal black bands reminiscent of freehand brushstrokes, interrupted by a central dark band enlivened with small abstract motifs in purple and yellow—open rectangles, dashes—giving the whole a strong graphic character, typical of the Fat Lava style. Placed together on a shelf or console, they create a beautiful vintage ensemble, full of character.

The ceramics are in excellent condition. One has a label, and both are signed on the base.

The larger pitcher measures 6 cm in diameter and 20 cm in height.

The smaller pitcher measures 7 cm in diameter and 11 cm in height. This piece has an attribution mark,
