AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Attractive set consisting of two large ceramic vessels from Carstens Tönnieshof, West Germany, in the typical mid-century / fat-lava style.
The set consists of two vases harmoniously color- and style-coordinated, with elaborately relief-decorated surfaces and expressive blue-green, turquoise, and gold-brown glazes.
1. Tall handle vase – Form E. 4-25
The tall vase bears on the underside the characteristic Tönnieshof symbol as well as the imprint “E. 4-25 / Germany,” and thus has an original manufacturer’s mark.
* Height: approx. 25.5 cm
* Base diameter: approx. 13 cm
* Opening diameter: approx. 9 cm
* Weight: approx. 1,180 g
* Original ground mark
2. Spherical vase – Form 47-15
The bulbous spherical vase bears on the underside the impressed form number “47-15 / Germany,” but no additional manufacturer’s mark. Form 47-15 is attributed to Carstens Tönnieshof.
The vase features a particularly beautiful relief-decorated surface with geometric ornament and a multicolored blue-green/turquoise glaze with gold-brown accents.
* Height: approx. 15.8 cm
* Middle diameter: approx. 17.5 cm
* Opening diameter: approx. 7.5 cm
* Weight: approx. 790 g
Condition
Very good used vintage condition.
The spherical vase shows some fine, age- or glaze-typical craquelure. In addition, both vessels have minor signs of use or small irregularities in the glaze, as is common with older West German ceramics.
The numerous detail photos show the condition, the glazes, relief structures, and the ground marks.
