Carstens Tönnieshof was a well-known German pottery company, established in the mid-20th century and primarily associated with West German ceramics. The company was founded by Christian Heinrich Carstens and initially operated under the name “Carstens-Uffrecht.” However, it wasn’t until the post-war period, around the 1950s and 1960s, that Carstens Tönnieshof truly rose to prominence, producing a wide range of decorative ceramics by designers like Heinz Siery and Gerda Heuckeroth that have become iconic pieces in mid-century design.
