One of the classic Scheurich glaze decors which was applied to thousands of its vases during the 1960s and 1970s also appears to have made its way onto what I think is most likely to be a British studio pottery piece. The similarity is such that I would assume they must be a copy of one another. Presumably it was the studio potter who did the copying and not the other way around.

This post forms part of a series of blogs, Seeing Double, which looks at examples of different West German pottery companies producing very similar forms or decors (you can see the others by clicking here and here)

Sale prices on eBay have been analysed to evaluate West German Pottery price trends. The aim is to monitor the changing value of Fat Lava pottery through analysis of UK eBay sales. The intention is that this will provide a barometer for the popularity/desirability of Fat Lava items.
The average sale price (plus postage) of West German pottery items during July 2013 was £18.35 , down from the previous month (£25.47).
The top 20% most expensive Fat Lava items average sale price (plus postage) was £67.37, down from the previous month (£98.46) .
This fall in prices could be due to a lack of high quality Fat Lava items been sold within the 100 items sampled.
