They often used their "TC double-housemark" (if there is enough space on the base). Often additional:"W.-GERMANY" or "W.-GERM." Also some pieces are marked with "Austria",this were produced in their factory in Austria. Some pieces of aspecial range were not marked, for example some pieces designed byGerda Heuckeroth. And others had only labels...Carstens T?nnieshof (Toennieshof) marks-gallery: Only three of their labels: Left: old gold foil label - 1950/60sMid: gold foil label - 1960/70sRight: paper label with fabric spiral - 1970s (here special "Boutique" range)Their designer: Trude Carstens, Heinz Siery, Gerda Heuckeroth, Dieter Peter ...Their special ranges:Carstens- "Luxus", "Boutique", "Atelier"Pleasenote: you can not identify all pieces with their base marks, ratherwith their glazes or form-numbers.
