Carstens Tnnieshof ceramic mark guide:Name: Carstens ToennieshofCity: Freden ander LeineProvince: Lower SaxonyLand: former "West Germany"Active from: 1945-1984Some
facts about carstens: a red clay was used, mostly signed with moulded
numbers (sometimes impressed). They often used their "TC double-house
mark" (if there is enough space on the base). Often additional:
"W.-GERMANY" or "W.-GERM." Also some pieces are marked with "Austria",
this were produced in their factory in Austria. Some pieces of a
special range were not marked, for example some pieces designed by
Gerda Heuckeroth. And others had only labels...Carstens Tnnieshof (Toennieshof) marks-gallery: Only three of their labels: Left: old gold foil label - 1950/60sMid: gold foil label - 1960/70sRight: paper label with fabric spiral - 1970s (here special "Boutique" range)Their designer: Trude Carstens, Heinz Siery, Gerda Heuckeroth, Dieter Peter ...Their special ranges:Carstens- "Luxus", "Boutique", "Atelier"Please
note: you can not identify all pieces with their base marks, rather
with their glazes or form-numbers. Collecting west german ceramics of
the 1960/70s fat lava era is still a mostly uncovered collecting field
with many, many sided secrets...This mark gallery is
still under construction! I would like to put in more and bigger
pictures but you can only add 10 of them in this small size :-(So i am going to write a guide about every popular manufacturer, in the next weeks... Thanks for now and feel free to visit my okay-Shop for West German ceramics and much FAT LAVA vases --
