Name: Carstens Tonnieshof Glazed Vase 414-G West Germany 1955-1956
Price: 44.00 USD

Pretty pottery vase from 1950 West Germany. White background with deep rose veining and shimmering yellow splatters. The banded neck is in gold, original maker label attached. The drip glaze merges into a midnight black base, with the style number 414-G and WEST GERMANY in raised letters. 
This particular design was created by Trude Carstens between 1955-1956, before other Carstens designers turned to more brutalist styles in the 1960s. The company went bankrupt in 1977 after rapid global expansion, but operated under different management till 1984. 
Measures 4.5” diameter, 3.5” high, and is in excellent vintage condition with no chips cracks or damage. 

It's a new week on Niknax! There's a lot happening, but this weekend is another event for all our resident glass lovers--the Glass Locomotive event hosted by seller, Jenikay. In addition to the train, we're celebrating ONE MILLION in sales by waiving marketplace fees on Sunday, July 7th--processing fees will still apply.  If you visit the homepage, you will see that our weekly feature is Mythical Creatures--so get those unicorns, dragons, and elves listed for a chance to be featured. Our seller spotlight is on Sisters of the Moon. Lastly, we'd like to thank everyone who participated in Fourth Friday Handmade Market this month. The Meet Your Maker event was a blast. Make sure you visit our sister marketplace for all things handmade, check it out here: https://district.net/mainlymade. Everyone have a wonderful week!

A Note From Crazy Lamp Lady:

Default

Everyone has a story, unique to them, that bears the colours and textures of their life. So it is with item - things, stuff, ephemera - the pieces that decorate, enrich, define, and serve our lives.  I love that STUFF!!! It might not suit the original owner, but someone, somewhere is just waiting for it to start a new life with them.  I’m kinda the matchmaker for that stuff, and you. Call me your yentl!!! And have fun visiting my happy place!
