A wonderfully bold and sculptural West German Bay Keramik punch bowl, richly glazed in deep emerald green with raised swirling vines, fruiting motifs and the word “Bowlle” in relief across the front. This is a classic piece of mid-century German ceramics, impressive in both scale and presence, ideal for decorative display or as a statement functional serving piece.
Standing at 32cm tall and weighing approximately 3kg, it has a satisfyingly weighty feel and exhibits the typical Bay Keramik mid-century aesthetic—organic, curvaceous, deeply moulded, and expressive. The interior features a notch for a ladle, and the underside bears the expected ‘Bay W-Germany 765 55’ factory mark.
A striking collectible for lovers of West German art pottery and retro entertaining.
