Sculptural West German Art Pottery Vase by Carstens Tönnieshof, c. 1950s

About the Item

Sculptural West German Art Pottery Vase by Carstens Tönnieshof, c. 1950s A striking and highly unique sculptural ceramic vase by Carstens Tönnieshof, handmade in West Germany circa the 1950s. This expressive piece represents a volcanic form, showcasing the bold textures and dynamic glazes typical of mid-century West German art pottery. Crafted with a strong sculptural presence, the vase features deep surface reliefs and rich, layered glazes that emphasize its organic, eruptive motif. A fine example of Carstens’ experimental mid-century work, blending both brutalist and biomorphic influences. The underside bears the Carstens signature, the "W. Germany" mark, and the form code: 3077-20. The vase remains in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Dimensions: Height: 20 cm (7.9 in) Width: 27 cm (10.6 in) Depth: 14 cm (5.5 in) We specialized in antique and 20th century ceramics, glass and objects, like lamps, side tables, stools, mirrors, etc. Please check out our storefront ¨Gorgeous Vases¨ for more items in this style.
