Hi all,

Did you miss me and my rubbish pickups of pottery. Well I thought Id go and find one a bit more colourful!! Who cares that there are slight chips on the top and on the flowers. Looked old, looked unusual..and I knew it was German

Now I wasnt sure what German section to put it in.

The flowers are raised and painted glossy. Where it is chipped the clay is a terracotta colour. 24cm high. And why the heck would you put a hole in the front of a jug???

I got this question yesterday, and my best guess is that it's a Hedwig Bollhagen design for Velten. Do you have anything that actually says what this mark is so I can pass the information along?

I just love these two Carstens.

On the left marks are 94-16 and in the right 7808-15(or16)

I know this is Austrian because it says so on the base together with numbers 1507-27, but can you help with a factory name please. Emmi

This was the first peice of German pottery I bought when I was 10 years old (about 20 years ago) at a car boot for 5p.
I thought it was probably seventies..do you agree?
I love it but never met anyone that agrees!!!

dantheman · « **Reply #14 on:** November 18, 2007, 05:17:22 PM »

It has a fifties look

kelly · « **Reply #15 on:** November 18, 2007, 05:31:06 PM »

Do you think so...It kinda does I guess but I keep getting drawn back to the seventies with it, I've never seen one like it
and I did'nt imagine it was that old.

Do you think it's ugly?

This is my favourite Carstens (tonnieshof..I think,please correct me if I'm wrong,you guys know much more than I) vase.
I love the form, it reminds me of a seed or nut pod and the colours are beautiful.

With highly glazed pieces you do lose the feel of it which detracts from it to a certain extent.

I think Carstens.... because of the red clay.

Orpheus · « **Reply #19 on:** November 19, 2007, 12:30:38 PM »

Another form but the same glaze:
