On a light wooden sideboard, next to a small stack of books or a single eucalyptus branch, this vase effortlessly draws attention. Not loud, but present – as if it has always been a part of the space.
This rare vintage vase by Carstens Keramik embodies everything that makes West-Germany ceramics so beloved: craftsmanship, character, and a distinctive yet warm appearance. The deep green tones organically flow into a rich ochre color, while subtle relief details and playful spheres bring the surface to life. Each detail catches the light differently, making the vase continue to surprise from every angle.
With its elegant neck and sturdy base (15x15x27.5 cm), this is an object that brings visual calm as well as adding personality. An authentic piece of decoration that not only fills a space, but sets an atmosphere.

Placement in the interior
This vase looks particularly good:
On a sideboard or sidetable as a solo object
In combination with other ceramic pieces for layered styling
On an open shelf where light can make the glaze shine
With a single branch or dried flower for an understated, stylish look
Thanks to its shape and color, it helps to create a sense of cohesion, while simultaneously adding a personal accent. Precisely the balance an interior designer seeks: tranquility and character, without feeling forced.
