Vintage Carstens Tönnieshof West German Pottery Vase – Model 49-25
A striking example of mid-century West German art pottery by the renowned Carstens Tönnieshof factory, featuring a spectacular combination of vibrant turquoise blue, rich cobalt and earthy olive-green glazes.
This beautifully designed vintage vase is a wonderful example of the bold, experimental ceramics produced in West Germany during the 1960s and 1970s.
Design & Decoration
The vase has an elegant, slightly tapering cylindrical form with rounded shoulders, a short neck and a pronounced rolled rim.
Its most distinctive feature is the wonderfully textured decoration, combining:
* Brilliant turquoise and cobalt-blue glazing with attractive tonal variations.
* Raised geometric diamond and chevron motifs in contrasting olive-green and golden-brown glazes.
* Deeply textured vertical ribbing around the lower body, creating an almost flowing, organic appearance.
* Small raised decorative dots separating the upper and lower sections.
* A beautifully glossy finish that enhances the depth and richness of the colours.
The combination of geometric patterns and organic textures gives the vase a distinctive Brutalist-inspired mid-century appearance.
