Vase Carstens Tönnieshof – West Germany – Olive green geometric relief – A

Among West Germany ceramics, Carstens Tönnieshof holds a prominent place. Founded by Ernst and Christian Carstens, this German manufacturer produced limited pieces for each model — a rarity that explains the growing enthusiasm of collectors today. This vase is a fine example: its cylindrical shape with a narrow neck, adorned with a geometric relief of rounded rectangles in horizontal rows, reveals a design that is both rigorous and warm. The glossy olive/kaki glaze, with brown hues, fits perfectly into the typical palette of German Mid-Century Modern. The dark brown glazed interior reflects the care taken in every detail of production. The manufacturer closed its doors in 1984 — which makes each Carstens Tönnieshof piece all the more valuable. ✦ Manufacturer: Carstens Tönnieshof – West Germany. ✦ Base marking: W.-Germany.
