SCHEIRHOLZ PORCELAIN 13cm High x 16cm Dia RIBBON BOWL BEING SUPPORTED BY THREE CHERUBS/PUTTI WITH RAISED FLOWER & LEAF DECORATION.
(The manufacture was founded in 1816 by Heuäcker Brothers. After one of brothers died, Christian Gottfried Schierholz became a partner. This Thuringian manufactory gained fame thanks to its lithophanes. These masterpieces produced since 1849 by Gottfried Henklein are made of unglazed porcelain with filigree, light-permeable engravings. The manufactory has in its resources more than 2,000 models. Their artists are still working on new motifs.
In 1851 after Christian's death, the factory management was taken over by his sons, Julius and Hugo. The second one, Hugo, died in 1860. His brother along with his widow Julie run the company.
In 1877 took over the next generation, Max and Arthur (sons of Julius and Hugo). After Max left, Arthur gained sole ownership. In 1899 died Arthur. The factory became a public limited company Von Schierholz Porzellan Manufaktur Plaue G.m.b.H.
The company was nationalized after WWII when Thuringia became a part of Eastern Germany. It was named VEB Porzellan Manufaktur Plaue. After German re-unification in 1990 Von Schierholz Porzellan Manufaktur Plaue G.m.b.H. name was restored.
From 1995 it is a part of the Königlich privilegierte Porzellanmanufaktur Tettau G.m.b.H.)
