ABOUT PRODUCTID 32007
This ceramic vase, designed by Gerda Heuckeroth and produced by Carstens in Germany during the 1960s, is a robust example of mid-century modern aesthetics and the 'Fat Lava' movement. Its geometric, slightly conical body features a single rounded handle, with the main color being a deep, warm brown. This is contrasted by a wide, textured band of muted green, accented with touches of beige and brown for a natural, organic appearance. The matte, grainy surface of the brown sections is complemented by the pronounced, tactile relief of the green band. Inside, a glossy black glaze provides a striking contrast to the exterior. The construction feels substantial, with visible hand-crafted details and a clear separation between the smooth upper part and the textured lower band. The vase is signed with the numerical code '20 29' and marked 'Carstens Germany', confirming its authenticity. Height is approximately 18 cm, and base diameter is about 16 cm. The condition is very good, with no visible chips or cracks and only minimal, age-appropriate signs of use. This vase carries the spirit of the 1960s, a time when German ceramics embraced bold textures and earthy glazes. It tells the story of an era in which browns and greens brought a quiet, grounded character to interiors—like capturing the day's light within a clay vessel. The contrast of matte and gloss, smoothness and roughness, echoes the creative explorations of post-war German ateliers. It is an object that does not seek attention, but subtly reveals its origins and the hand of the maker. The vase can be combined with other vintage pieces, such as a low teak sideboard
