Bring a touch of authentic mid-century modern elegance to your space with this stunning Carstens Tönnieshof West Germany pitcher vase, dating from the late 1950s to mid-1960s. With its sculptural teardrop silhouette, slender pulled handle, and smooth upward sweep to the spout, this piece captures everything collectors love about postwar German art pottery.
The glaze is a dreamy marbled turquoise/sea-foam blue, shifting subtly in tone as it moves around the body. The neck features a rich metallic accent — a signature detail seen across some of Carstens’ most striking forms. Whether displayed solo on a shelf or used as part of a full MCM vignette, this piece radiates that soft, organic, studio-modern feel.
Stamped on the base (partially readable) indicating West German origin, consistent with Carstens forms of this era.
A beautiful collectible — perfect for pottery lovers, MCM decorators, or anyone building a curated vintage home.
