Carstens-tönnieshof Manipulated Mid-Century Modern Blue Gold Textured Sgraffitto

About the Item
Examples of this glaze line are hard to find and textured ones downright rare. The combination of blue and gold bands turns up in the late 60's with the super rare Boutique and occasionally Atelier items and I have also seen one example with a Raymor import sticker. The glaze obscures the mark, but the familiar late 60's to early 70's one is under there. Sometimes the Boutique line forms have a B prefix, but this appears to be the known form 5874-15 so I expect that's the rest of what is hiding under all that gorgeous black matte glaze on the base. This reminds me of repeating bands of the sun setting over the water, perhaps over sand dunes or surf. It really captures the essence of circa 1970 design.
