SUMMARY: Impressive Carstens Tönnieshof West German Luxus Range floor vase with four layers of fat lava drip and sedation, circa 1967.
DIMENSIONS: 15 ⅞” high x 9 ¾” diameter
MARKINGS: embossed on the base with C&T House mark / “9554-40” / “W.-GERMANY”; remnants of a square label on the should – this label matches the size, glue type and positioning of Luxus range labels (unfortunately the fabric sticker and Atelier label are missing, these are rare)
CONDITION: Vintage, Very Good Condition. For Accuracy Only: there is a chip and short hairline inside and under the rim (the hairline is just visible from the top) – this does not readily show from the outside and one must carefully position themselves or the vase for it to be visible. The texture and execution of the glazes is masterful a testament to the quality of the Luxor range.
