About the Item

This stunning large ‘beehive’ vase was designed by Dieter Peter in the 1970s, and manufactured by Carstens Tönnieshof in Freden an der Leine, West Germany. Carstens ‘Luxus’ range included this ‘Beehive’ 7641-40 vase with a striking glaze in yellow, brown and black beehive design. Carstens are considered to have been the best producers of West German Pottery and Dieter Peters was, probably, the top designer of that era alongside Bodo Mans, who was working for Bay Keramik, another highly regarded West German manufacturer. In perfect vintage condition, with no chips or cracks. Embossed on the base with Carstens Tönnieshof’s iconic ‘two house logo featuring the letters 'C' and 'T' combined with ‘7641-40 W. Germany’. Measurements: 40cm H x 25cm diameter x 15cm base. Weighs over 3 kg.
