Luxury vase series by Dieter Peter for Carstens Tönnieshof West Germany 1960

This large ceramic vase from West Germany was produced by the Carstens Tönnieshof factory (Karsten Tonner & Schoff) during the 1960s. Part of the Luxus / Atelier range designed by Dieter Peter, it features an amphora shape with an exceptional height of 50 cm. The design work is directly inspired by brutalism and archaeology, reflected in its marked volcanic texture as well as its circled and open reliefs. The piece stands out with a remarkable color palette, combining shades of turquoise blue and iridescent petroleum blue that elegantly contrast with the raw material. The bottom of the vase bears the authentic marking of the factory — representing the two twin houses — as well as the model reference 7337-50. The entire piece is preserved in exceptional condition for its age.
