The 'Ankara' ceramic vase from the 1960s is an authentic example of German design by Carstens Tönnieshof, signed 'W. Germany' and marked with a series number. Its body is distinctly globular, with a narrow, slightly flared neck and a small, stable base (height 13 cm, diameter 13 cm, base diameter 6.5 cm). The dominant color is a subdued, cool blue with a matte finish, contrasted by metallic, anthracite-black geometric accents—triangles, rectangles, and circles. The surface is adorned with a unique, tactile texture of small raised dots and subtle speckling. The black decorative elements have a satin to semi-gloss quality, enhancing the depth of the pattern and its mid-century modern rigor. The proportions are harmonious, and the decoration is well integrated with the vessel's shape. The condition is very good, with no visible damage, chips, or repairs; the glaze shows intentional irregularities and a gentle patina typical for studio ceramics of the era. This vase speaks to the story of German modernism from the 1960s, a time when geometric motifs and metallic luster symbolized the spirit of the age. Its form radiates calm, while the texture hints at the handcrafted approach to pottery. Shifting from matte blue to glossy graphite details, it evokes the era’s atmosphere—where material experimentation met compositional discipline. It is a vessel that could quietly witness postwar transformation, when utilitarian art became synonymous with
