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.

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:

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

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?

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.

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!
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

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
