Carstens Tönnieshof 7608-20 Vase

Fat Lava is a specific West German pottery technique from the mid-20th century known for its thick, bubbly, and textured glaze. It often creates a volcanic, crater-like surface that feels tactile and rugged to the touch, distinguishing it from smooth, traditional ceramics.

This vase is a signed, authentic example of historical pottery. You can typically find the manufacturer's mark or model number, 7608-20, on the base, which serves as the primary identifier for Carstens Tönnieshof production.

While this piece is made of pottery and is glazed, it is primarily intended as a decorative object or a collector's item. Due to the age and porous nature of vintage ceramics, we recommend using it for dried arrangements or displaying it as a standalone sculpture rather than filling it with water.

This vase stands 7.75 inches tall and measures 8 inches in width. It has a substantial, sturdy feel, weighing approximately 3 pounds.

To preserve the integrity of the textured glaze, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing. Simply dust the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from the crevices.
