Carstens Tönnieshof Wall Pocket Vase

While it can technically hold water, vintage ceramic wall pockets are often porous or may have hairline fractures due to age. We recommend using it primarily for dried florals or as a standalone sculptural object to preserve the integrity of the piece.

The vase features a built-in hole on the back, designed to sit flush against the wall. You will simply need a standard wall hook or a sturdy nail to hang it securely.

Yes, because this is an authentic vintage item from the West German pottery era, the glaze application, metallic flecking, and texture will have natural variations. Each piece is unique, which is a hallmark of the Carstens Tönnieshof production style.

Its sculptural form and dark, textured glaze make it a natural fit for mid-century modern, brutalist, or eclectic interiors. It works particularly well when grouped with other ceramic wall art or placed on a gallery wall.

Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the piece in water, as the vintage glaze and ceramic body are best preserved when kept dry.
