Carstens Tönnieshof, Arabia of Finland and Pukeberg of Sweden - Some of the pieces I said goodbye to recently...


Hello there. 

Today I have a  quick post to pay honor to the pieces I had to say goodbye in the last couple of months. Sold them in our Etsy store. Those were hard goodbyes as I simply loved all three pieces I show you here. They were all in perfect condition and who wouldn't want to buy them, right? So, off they went. They've traveled the world to their new homes and owners, to beautify their lives.




First piece on the line of hard goodbyes is this stunning mid century modern West German ceramic vase, jug vase style. Pictures will never do this piece any justice because this vase is more than beautiful, it is fabulous with a textured matte glaze in a dark blackish-grey and a beautiful shiny blue encasing glaze. This vase was most likely produced by former West German manufacturer Carstens Tönnieshof Pottery. Bottom marked with the design number 2001/25. Good bye baby, bye bye.





Then came the time say good bye this beautiful Pukeberg figurine. This was also a very hard goodbye as I thought, until the last minute, that I was going to keep it. How naive of me. This stunning crystal bird figurine designed by Pukeberg of Sweden in the 80's was a success. It accumulated lots of views and likes in the short period of time it stayed with us. No surprise it left the building in record time. No time for long goodbyes. 

Off to Central Europe it went... 






Finally we also sold this beautiful serving bowl from the series FLORA by Arabia Finland FLORA series was designed by Esteri Toumula and is one of the most beloved series of Arabia stoneware. This lovely bowl was sold with its matching sauce jug. They will turn someone's dinner table into an even more special occasion. 

Bye baby, good bye.
