Carstens of West Germany


Here are a few pieces of Charleton/Carstens pieces. Carstens was a West German pottery manufacturer whose wares are becoming more and more collectible. We found our first piece several years ago and until we actually found a piece with its original Carstens label we had no idea as to the name of the manufacturer.

I recently initiated contact with Forrest Poston, a very knowlegable collector of WG pottery and he replied to my inquiry in part..."This is the first evidence that any W. German pottery was imported directly into the US, although a significant amount went into Canada."
