This beautiful Carstens Tönnieshof ceramic bowl features the iconic Ankara decor, designed by Helmut Scholtis during the 1960s. The striking geometric pattern in shades of turquoise blue, charcoal grey, and black is enhanced by the textured volcanic glaze, creating a bold Mid-Century Modern look. Its wide, shallow shape makes it perfect as a decorative centerpiece or display piece.
Produced in West Germany, this bowl is marked 1075-31 on the base and is a fine example of the innovative ceramic design that made Carstens famous. The Ankara series remains one of the company's most recognizable and collectible decors, appreciated for its modern graphic style and rich textured glazes.
