A 1960s West German ceramic vase by Carstens
About the Item
A 1960s West German ceramic vase by Carstens.
Grey and white striped vase of irregular form. Made circa 1960s. Stamped with makers mark of Carstens West Germany under.
Carstens Tönnieshof began in 1900 but resumed post-war production sometime between 1945 and 1947. It was one of several pottery factories owned by the Carsten family, but it was the one that produced most of their art pottery. The company was very successful for many years, producing a wide range of shapes and glazes. The factory closed in 1984.
The primary designers were Trude Carstens, who was artistic director until she died in 1965, and Gerda Heuckenroth, Heinz Seiry and A. Seide. The company's products are generally of above-average quality. The Luxus and Atelier ranges were high-end Carstens products. Atelier, which was designed by Gerda Heuckenroth, premiered in 1962, and Luxus was launched in 1967.
Markings on Carstens pieces vary widely. When marked, they are generally embossed with a "twin house" mark, with the letter T over the letter C centred underneath. However, markings are sometimes incised. When spelling out West Germany, they generally abbreviate West simply as W, sometimes with a period and sometimes with a period and a hyphen. Occasionally, the letter Y in the word Germany is lowercase, as is the case with Bay products, but most often you can tell the difference, since Carstens usually used red clay, as opposed to Bay's white clay.
