ABOUT PRODUCTID 15902
The Carstens Tönnieshof floor vase, model No. 3651-50 from the 1970s, is crafted entirely from ceramic and finished with a bold, glossy glaze that transitions from deep burgundy at the base and body to a more vivid red around the neck and flared rim. The slender, cylindrical silhouette—standing 51 cm high—is accented by pronounced relief grooves and vertical organic patterns reminiscent of tree bark or flowing lava, referencing the signature 'Fat Lava' style typical of West German ceramics of the mid-century era. The wide, smoothly flared rim transitions seamlessly into a gently tapered neck, imparting a balanced geometric profile. The saturated red hues, shifting toward burgundy in parts, work in concert with expressive texture to add visual depth. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with strong color intensity and surface gloss, showing no chips or cracks—only minimal, expected traces of use consistent with its age. This vase carries the spirit of the 1970s: a period marked by bold color and confident formal experimentation across continental Europe. Geometric simplicity here meets volcanic texture, as if the ceramic tells a story of energy captured and held in plumes of molten red. The vivid red glazes flicker across the relief like embers cooled on an ancient surface, while the gloss captures and multiplies ambient light in the room—a piece that could speak with the language of its era, embodying the mature phase of West German mid-century modern. The vase can be paired with large
