Description

A classy Carstens Tönnieshof vase in a rare yellow glaze.
This form 200 vase is the work of respected ceramic artist, Heinz Siery, and I’ve not seen this vibrant colour on this shape before!

I’m big fan of Carstens and their innovative and brave ceramics, but there’s little information available about the company’s history or its productions.
I believe the firm was founded by brothers Christian and Ernst Carstens in 1946 and produced ceramics for over 30 years, before declaring bankruptcy in 1977.
The original factory was located in Freden an der Leine (West Germany), and during the 1960s they expanded with production in Austria, Chile, Argentina and Australia.
Notable designers at the company included Trude Carstens (wife of Ernst Carstens), Gerda Heuckeroth, Dieter Peter, and the designer of this vase, Heinz Siery.

This striking and collectible 1960s ceramic comes in excellent undamaged condition with no chips, cracks or issues, and is marked ‘200’ on its base.
