CARSTENS Tonnieshof
was founded in 1946 by Ernst and Christian Carstens.
It resumes the family's long history of porcelain production in Germany, which was abruptly interrupted at the end of the Second World War, when the Carstens factories ended up in East German territory and were expropriated by the GDR.
Reopened in 1946 on the border with East Germany, in Tunnieshof, it quickly regained value, enjoying great success for many years with a great variety of shapes and glazes.
GERDA Heuckeroth:
she trained under the famous ceramist Siegfried Muller and studied at the Bremen School of Applied Arts.
You have been artistic director of Carstens since the early 1940s, until the division of Germany.
After the war, he worked for various companies, including Grànstadt, Villeroy & Boch as a designer of shapes and decorations.
In 1964 he moved to CARSTENS TONNIESHOF as head of his Atelier department.
