Carstens Tonnieshof

Thanks, Bas :pig:

Hi Orpheus!

If your vase is around 20cm high it should read 5047-20. I have the same one here :-)

Carstens Tonnieshof vase probably from the 60's. Marked "W. GERMA5044-85". 25,5cm tall.

Another one of these Carstens Austria disc vases, giant version (never seen that before) -- height 31 cm, width 34 cm.
And quite a spectacular glaze...
Marked 4372/30.

As I have seen 5 or 6 of the smaller ones since I posted the first one, and still not one marked "Germany", I guess these are really Austria-bound.

Carstens Tonnieshof large vase from the 50's. 16cm diameter by 30cm tall.

194-14 with acid green glaze and crusty lava

I found this little bowl (19 cm across x 7 cm high) today in a charity shop. Not as inexpensive as I would have liked but not bad at $8. Researched today and found one other bowl with this number 1057-20 and attributed to Carstens but with different decoration. If anyone has any idea of time-frame or any other examples, I'd love to see them.







The body is red clay with the exterior glazed medium/dark green. The interior is dark turquois with an overlay of black (fat lava or volcano??). Around the inside of the rim is an iridescent stripe reminiscent of raku.

Carstens !   1000 range = bowls, red clay.

I like the decoration on yours a lot! And the outside colour too!

Carstens, yes, it is, decor about 1957

So, is this one also Carstens:

Thanks

The black decoration on my bowl is raised (bumpy) so while it looks similar to the ashtray, the ashtray's black looks to be smooth and under the glaze.

Yes, the decoration on the ashtray is not raised and it has a kind of metallic glow.
