This 1970s Carstens Tönnieshof vase is a stunning example of West German "Fat Lava" pottery. It features a bold orange and red glaze contrasted against a deep brown base, finished with a unique, shimmering texture. Its large, sculptural shape makes it a powerful focal point that perfectly captures the experimental spirit of mid-century design.
Carstens Tönnieshof was a leading name in European ceramics, renowned for their innovative glazing techniques and iconic twin-house logo. By the 1970s, the studio was pushing boundaries with bold textures and rich, earthy palettes that remain highly collectible today.
