Vintage 60s Rustic Fat Lava Mid Century West German ceramic vase model 7061-20 by designer Gerda Heuckeroth for Carstens Toennieshof.

In 1878 Christian Heinrich Carsten bought the wholesale company Carstens & Stahl. Christian and his brother Ernst acquired a ceramics factory in Rheinsberg in 1892. The company was founded in 1946 and production of table ceramics started 1947. Carstens Tönnieshof was successful and in 1953 it had about 400 employees.

The primary designers were Trude Carstens, Heinz Siery, Gerda Heuckeroth, Dieter Peter, Helmut Scholtis, Rudolph Christmann and A. Seide.

During the mid 1960s Heinz Siery and Gerda Heuckeroth also developed forms with geometric patterns. Examples designed by Heinz Siery are found on Brasilia and Manilla series. The Europa series from 1967 is also a series with molded geometric patterns, probably inspired by ancient European cultures.

Gerda Heuckeroth was one of the few named designers. She created wonderful designs for Ruscha (1959), Urania Ceramano (1962-64) and Carstens Tönnieshof (1964). Gerda Heuckeroth eventually branched out on her own, setting up a studio in Berlin.
