ABOUT PRODUCTID 17156
The Ankara vase by Carstens exemplifies West German 1960s design, when ceramics took on bold new forms through experimental glazing and geometric decor. This piece, crafted from clay, features a substantial, rounded body that gently narrows toward a slender neck, finished with a flared rim. The palette—cool petrol blue and graphite grey—is rendered in a matte, subtly textured glaze. Raised geometric patterns—rhythmic squares, triangles, and circles—are highlighted with metallic, anthracite-hued glaze, imparting a dimensional, architectural quality. Decorative horizontal bands accent the vessel's silhouette, while the handle and rim are distinguished by dark, nearly black glazing. The intentional surface irregularities, with tiny bubbles and a grainy feel, are characteristic of 1960s German ceramics. Marked with the Carstens signature, this authentic vase presents in excellent condition, with preserved reliefs and glazing, free from chips, cracks, or visible wear. This piece encapsulates the spirit of the 1960s—a decade when German creators pushed boundaries and embraced materiality as a core design language. The geometric reliefs form a visual code, echoing the era’s fascination with abstraction and industrial rhythms. The juxtaposition of matt, tactile textures and metallic accents recalls the voice of materials
