Carstens Ceramic Chicken / Bowl 1970s, Old Ceramic Fruit retailer Chalice, Egg Basket Hen, Vintage

Wonderful, ceramic bowl in the shape of a hen
by Carstens Tönnieshof from the 1970s

Rare piece,... I have in the many years,
of collecting and trading with ceramics, not seen before.

The back has a hollow and serves as a shell.
There is still the old adhesive label

The chicken has a wonderfully bright, matt turquoise glaze
with dark blue contrasts

Fits wonderfully on the breakfast table (not only at Easter)
to serve eggs to the family
The bowl can also be used individually as a small fruit bowl

Overall, very good conservation status with only minimal retailer age-related traces of life
No chips or jumps

Fruit and matchbox serves as size comparison
It's just small plates of peaches, 1 small pear
and half a lemon in it. Then it was full ;-)

Metrics:
Total height: approx. 14 cm (measured at the head)
Length of the bird: 30 cm
Height to shell: 8.5 cm
Width : 15 cm

Of course, we also offer combined shipping.
The overpaid postage amounts will be refunded
