Product description
This exceptional accent lamp was newly crafted from an original Carstens Tönnieshof vase dating back to the 1960s. The striking handled vase is a typical example of West German studio ceramics: a powerful form with a bulbous body and a distinctive handle. The expressive glaze combines deep black at the neck with a vibrant decoration in red, cream, and textured gray at the bottom. The relief-like surface underscores the vase's sculptural character.
Vase dimensions: Height approx. 26 cm, diameter 18 cm
Total height with shade approx. 57 cm, shade: 30 x 30 cm
The lampshade (30 cm diameter) is made of high-quality Japanese cotton fabric and comes from Roomlight Studio. The traditional dragon motif in blue, cream, and red subtly echoes the vase's color accents, creating a captivating connection between West German ceramic art and Far Eastern textile tradition. In the warm light, the fabric reveals its delicate texture. The dragon pattern appears vibrant – a unique and characterful addition to any room.
