Description
A squat chunky West German pottery vase made by Carstens Tönnieshof. The vase has a matte cream glaze with hand painted brown horizontal lines. There is a sage green band near the neck of the vase, the white and red design elements are painted in a high-gloss glaze. The interior is a glossy dark green. The underside of the vase is embossed with the identifier 1236-23 AUSTRIA.
Carstens Tönnieshof (1945 - 1984) was the main factory owned by the Carstens family. West German Pottery made by Carstens is generally considered to be of high quality.
Condition report:
The matte glaze has some stubborn marks that I could not remove. There is the remnants of an old sticker and some small glaze chips near the bottom rim.
Please note that I use strong lighting to help highlight the maximum amount of detail of each piece. As each piece is bathed in such strong lighting conditions, the on-screen effect will possibly make the item appear lighter in colour and tone. Your piece may look slightly darker in more natural lighting conditions.

Will my order have a tracking number?
Depending on the final weight of your order (item + packaging), your purchase may or may not include a tracking number.
Will my parcel be sent via Economy or Priority shipping?
Heavier parcels (over 2kg) will be send via Economy shipping automatically and this includes a tracking number and insurance against loss or damages. Shipping upgrade for faster shipping is available at buyers cost.
Lighter parcels (under 2kg) are sent Priority, Swiss post does not offer Economy shipping on lighter parcels. This does not include a tracking number. Please purchase a tracking number if you would like one.
Is there a guarantee on loss or damage after my order is sent?
If a tracking number has not been purchased, I cannot offer any guarantees on parcels that are lost. Parcels sent without a tracking number are sent at the buyers risk.
Who pays for the import fee that is added once the parcel enters my country?
You, the buyer, are responsible for any Custom fees or Import duties that your country may charge.
Can you send me my order via FedEx or UPS, etc.?
As a small business, I rely on Swiss Post and your country's local postal company. I am unable to send parcels via FedEx, UPS, etc.
Why does my item seem a slightly different colour than what I see on my screen?
Please note that I use strong lighting to help highlight the maximum amount of detail of each piece. As each piece is bathed in such strong lighting conditions, the on-screen effect will possibly make the item appear lighter in colour and tone. Your piece may look slightly darker in more natural lighting conditions.
Please also account for the fact that our screens are naturally set to different "Brightness" settings.
Is my parcel sent via A-Post or B-Post in Switzerland?
Parcel sent within Switzerland are automatically sent via B-Post. If you require A-post, please send me a message.
Can I combine items for a better shipping price?
Yes, in most cases, shipping items together can save on the shipping price. I will calculate the most economical price to get your items to you.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
