This impressive vintage floor vase by Carstens Tönnieshof is a striking example of West German ceramic art from the mid-century era. The design captivates with its organic form and characteristic, relief-like surface texture, which lends the object a unique tactile and visual depth.
Made of high-quality ceramic, the vase features a rich, earthy yellow hue, elegantly contrasted by the dark grooves of the fluting. The smooth, black neck provides a clean finish and emphasizes the sculptural silhouette. The underside bears the typical Carstens Tönnieshof hallmark, attesting to the authenticity and provenance of this piece.
Apart from minor chips, it is in good condition, commensurate with its age and retaining its authentic vintage character. The original glaze and distinctive texture are well preserved. Please refer to the photographs for a more detailed assessment.
As a striking decorative object, this floor vase blends perfectly into mid-century modern interiors or eclectic living concepts. It unfolds its effect both as a solitary work of art on the floor and in combination with dried branches or grasses.
