Description
The large stoneware vase by Carstens Tönnieshof, West Germany, 1970s.
A striking stoneware vase produced by the German manufacturer Carstens Tönnieshof in the 1970s. Its sculptural form, with a distinctive vertical indentation, lends the piece an architectural character, whilst the glaze, with its pronounced, grooved texture, is reminiscent of tree bark, perfectly reflecting the aesthetic of West German ceramics. The warm shade of brown and the subtly lustrous surface ensure that the vase attracts attention both as a decorative element and as a standalone functional sculpture. This model exemplifies the design for which the Carstens brand was renowned – bold, modern forms inspired by nature, combined with high-quality stoneware featuring a rich texture. Thanks to its impressive height, it looks superb on the floor, a console table or a chest of drawers, whether filled with tall branches or used as a standalone accent piece in the interior. The vase is marked on the base with the distinctive Carstens Tönnieshof logo, model number 0565-50 and the ‘W.-Germany’ marking, confirming it was manufactured in West Germany.
Condition: The item is in its original condition and may have minor scratches and normal signs of wear.
