An exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire a complete, curated "Ankara" set. Designed by Helmut Scholtis for the renowned Carstens Tönnieshof factory, the Ankara line is one of the most prestigious and recognizable decors from the 1960s West German pottery era.
This set is a masterclass in the "Fat Lava" aesthetic, featuring a rich, textured matte teal-blue base created using a specialized wax-resist technique. The raised geometric patterns—circles, squares, and triangles—are finished in a striking metallic gunmetal/anthracite glaze, giving the collection a powerful, Brutalist presence.
The Collection Breakdown:
1233-34 (XL Floor Vase): A grand statement piece standing at 34 cm. Condition: Very minor chip at the rim and bottom.
663-25 (Tall Slim): Height 26 cm. Condition: Small internal hairline at top, purely cosmetic.
1236-23 (Shouldered): Height 22 cm.
1756-22 (Modernist): Height 22 cm.
663-18 (Medium Slim): Height 18.5 cm.
526-10 (Miniature): Height 10.5 cm.
Condition Report:
Overall very good vintage condition. Minor signs of wear consistent with age (over 60 years old). The rim chip on the floor vase and hairline on the 26cm vase are noted for transparency; neither detracts from the incredible visual impact of the group.
