A striking silhouette with a story to tell—this vintage Carstens Tönnieshof pitcher vase captures the essence of mid-century modern design with its sculptural form and dreamy turquoise glaze.
The elongated neck and gracefully arched handle create a fluid, almost swan-like profile, while the glossy drip glaze transitions from soft seafoam tones into deeper, moody hues near the rim. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t just sit on a shelf—it poses.
Crafted in West Germany, this vase reflects the bold artistry and experimental glazing techniques that made Carstens ceramics so collectible during the mid-century era.
Whether styled as a standalone statement piece or holding dried stems, it brings a refined, artistic touch to any space—from modern minimal to retro eclectic.
