About the Item

Carstens produced high quality ceramics of which the 'Luxus' range was the most expensive, high end range. 'Luxus', as indicated by the fabric label from which hung a card tag, 'Atelier', was designed by Gerda Heuckeroth between 1962 and 1964. This is a large pleasing tapered shaped vase with a top rim shaped like a drip pan for a candlestick decorated in dark and light browns. Impressed mark to the base. This style of ceramic from West Germany has become known generically as 'Fat Lava'.
