Post by: notapotterycollector on September 03, 2007, 06:38:24 AM: Hi all,

Did you miss me and my rubbish pickups of pottery. Well I thought Id go and find one a bit more colourful!! Who cares that there are slight chips on the top and on the flowers. Looked old, looked unusual..and I knew it was German ::)

Now I wasnt sure what German section to put it in.

The flowers are raised and painted glossy. Where it is chipped the clay is a terracotta colour. 24cm high. And why the heck would you put a hole in the front of a jug???

Post by: ginfor on October 26, 2007, 04:12:32 PM: I got this question yesterday, and my best guess is that it's a Hedwig Bollhagen design for Velten. Do you have anything that actually says what this mark is so I can pass the information along?

Post by: emmi on November 11, 2007, 03:10:52 PM: I know this is Austrian because it says so on the base together with numbers 1507-27, but can you help with a factory name please. Emmi

Post by: kelly on November 18, 2007, 05:00:53 PM: This was the first peice of German pottery I bought when I was 10 years old (about 20 years ago) at a car boot for 5p.
I thought it was probably seventies..do you agree?
I love it but never met anyone that agrees!!!

Post by: dantheman on November 18, 2007, 05:17:22 PM: It has a fifties look >:D
Title: Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: kelly on November 18, 2007, 05:31:06 PM: Do you think so...It kinda does I guess but I keep getting drawn back to the seventies with it, I've never seen one like it
and I did'nt imagine it was that old.

Do you think it's ugly? :boohoo:
Title: Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: kelly on November 18, 2007, 09:15:06 PM: This is my favourite Carstens (tonnieshof..I think,please correct me if I'm wrong,you guys know much more than I) vase.
I love the form, it reminds me of a seed or nut pod and the colours are beautiful. :*:

Post by: kelly on November 18, 2007, 09:40:14 PM: With highly glazed pieces you do lose the feel of it which detracts from it to a certain extent.
Title: Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: Orpheus on November 19, 2007, 12:28:58 PM: I think Carstens.... because of the red clay.
Title: Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: Orpheus on November 19, 2007, 12:30:38 PM: Another form but the same glaze:

Post by: Orpheus on December 19, 2007, 08:59:15 PM: Hi Ronnie saw youre post of the Kienzle boutique clock on page 4 of this topic, have one hanging in my kitchen for a month or so, never thought this was Carstens! I'm so happy ;D
Title: Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: Orpheus on December 19, 2007, 09:07:45 PM: Here it is, red clay but no markings.
Title: Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: lowersaxony on December 22, 2007, 11:24:38 AM: Hello, i?m new :-)

at long last i have found a board about german ceramic of the "golden ceramic years".

my first pic for you is of a german ceramic wall clock with a rustic metal chain. made by kienzle in the 1960/70, i think the body was made by Carstens Tonnieshof (the clay, the glaze). I could not find out what the letters on the back of those clocks will mean. A typically "H" is impressed and a normally a serial-id.

Post by: mrmoosehead on December 22, 2007, 12:45:32 PM: I have to say I too like the 50s shape like the one of Kellys 627-29
Mine cost alittle more than 5p but still worth every ?!
Title: Blue/green pitcher id wanted = Carstens
Post by: Orpheus on December 27, 2007, 09:24:53 AM: Numbers are hard to read because of the glaze but i think it's 7203/15 and the clay used is red so it might be Carstens?

Thanks,
Bas :ao:

Title: ID = Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: Anne E.B. on January 04, 2008, 01:47:22 PM: Any ideas what this is please? 6" high with AUSTRIA and the numbers 7607-20 impressed on the base (the second digit could be a zero and not 6). Highly glazed burnt orange/russet colour with a mottled matt sprinkling of something that looks charcoal like (actually darker than shown in pic.)

TIA :D

edited: Just found the word I was looking for regarding the charcoal like effect - lava ::)

Post by: Orpheus on January 12, 2008, 09:13:08 PM: Found this cylinder vase with form numer: E.4 - 20, I'm not used to form numbers from Carsten with a letter like the 'E' here. Does someone know what or why they did use this?

Title: ID = Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: mrmoosehead on January 14, 2008, 05:28:41 PM: Bought these about 6 months ago and just dug them out of the box.
Base marked 301 Germany West. Odd not the other way round! Could this be that they had the moulds before 1939 and after 1945 they added the West as an after thought?
Anyone any ideas certainly have that 1950s pastel colours to them.

Title: ID = Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: a40ty on January 21, 2008, 08:12:08 PM: Very difficult to photograph, I'm afraid but here goes
The label is so faded but it is black with silver writing and what I can make out reads thus,
the top line is completely illegible,
the second line:*(wildcard)ON ***ESHOF
third line: *QALITAT
fourth line: West Germany
There is, unfortunately, no way I can photograph the base, too shiny but there are three raised marks, possibly LJJ, with what could be a cross, depressed. Hope that makes sense ???
At some stage, it has been gilded around the inside of the neck, that is almost gone but it is still a vibrant little thing!

Post by: emmi on January 24, 2008, 06:12:00 PM: A couple I unearthed from my garage today:
both have the two houses logo, the jug mark is clear 94-16 and the cube one mark is unclear but maybe 1808-11 (although it actually measures 15cms) 0r 7808- ??
Any clarification would be appreciated........ Emmi

Post by: emmi on January 31, 2008, 11:09:27 AM: Good morning! am hoping this is a Carstens, but not sure of the decor........just has AUSTRIA on the base with an unclear number which may be 16,although it measures 14 cms
Title: Re: Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: Lustrousstone on June 24, 2008, 07:18:01 AM: This 15-cm vase marked 51 15 W.- Germany and made of red clay has been identified for me by Mr Graham as Carstens Tonnieshof

The decor on the planter above is Ankara
Title: Re: Carstens Tonnieshof
Post by: ChimpMad on February 14, 2009, 12:06:45 AM: I particularly like my Carstens handled vase (498-20), it has a few little glaze chips but the glaze is very soft and the detail in high relief, but I love it anyway so I can overlook the flaws.
