Übelacker Keramik was a West German ceramics manufacturer active during the mid-20th century, contributing to the country's renowned art pottery scene from the 1950s to the 1970s. The company was known for producing a variety of decorative ceramics, including vases, bowls, and pitchers, characterized by innovative designs and vibrant glazes. Übelacker's pieces often featured the distinctive "Fat Lava" glaze, a hallmark of West German pottery from this period, characterised by thick, textured surfaces that resemble molten lava. Today, Übelacker Keramik's creations are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern design, appreciated for their unique aesthetic and as representations of the creative experimentation that defined West German art pottery during that era.
