About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This striking ceramic vase, a product of post-war German production, combines a clear, cylindrical form with a vibrant, almost graphic surface design. Manufactured by Tönnieshof for Carstens in West Germany, it reflects the typical design language of the 1960s, which combined minimalist silhouettes with expressive decorations.
The dark brown, matte base provides a calm foundation for the dynamic decoration of flowing lines and stylized, colored elements in red, blue, yellow, and white. These loosely distributed motifs lend the vase a playful lightness and are reminiscent of abstract, almost handwritten compositions characteristic of the period. Fine horizontal lines in the background add further depth and texture.
The slightly tapered shape with its pronounced, flared opening emphasizes the elegant verticality of the object, while the simple base ensures stability. The vase is particularly beautiful both as a standalone piece and when combined with simple branches or dried flowers.
An authentic collector's item of West German pottery, distinguished by its combination of clean lines and vibrant decoration.
Condition: Very good vintage condition with minimal signs of age. Glaze and decoration are beautifully preserved.
Dimensions: Diameter 9 x Height 26 cm
