Carstens W German Pot

Hello all,

We are new to this board and new to collecting W. German pots, having acquired our 9th this weeked.

Would anyone be able to confirm if this one number 1507-27 is from the ATELIER range, what is the approx date, and when they stopped being "Austria" and stamped W Germany please.

Looking forward to learning much, much more,

TIA- Sharron & Mike

(P.S Should I have started a new topic, or added to the existing "Carstens Tonnieshof" thread)

Hi Sharron & Mike - I'll move this query to the ID My Pot section since you're requesting information - it'll get a bit more exposure there.

I can tell you that your pot is a Gerda Heuckeroth design for Carstens 'Atelier' range and those items stamped 'Austria' were made in the Goldscheider factory - although as far as I know they continued to manufacture in Germany as well. I don't know how long they used the Goldscheider factory for however.

Hopefully someone else can tell you a bit more.
