Description

Mid century porcelain doe / deer / fawn figurine, designed by Karl Tutter for Lorenz Hutschenreuther.

"The Hutschenreuther porcelain business was founded in 1814 by Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther (1794–1845) in Hohenberg an der Eger, Bavaria, Germany. He had previously worked at the Wallendorf porcelain manufactory in Lichte (Wallendorf). After his death in 1845, the factory was headed by his widow, Johanna Hutschenreuther, and her two sons. A large part of the factory was destroyed by a fire in 1848, but it was rebuilt. From 1860, they produced hand-painted and gilded porcelain products. In 1857, Lorenz Hutschenreuther, the elder son of Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther, established a porcelain factory in Selb. The Selb factory was so well managed that it was able to compete with famous British porcelain brands. Lorenz and Carolus, son and father, were competitors and didn't cooperate. utschenreuther acquired the following other porcelain manufacturers: Jaeger, Werner & Co., Selb (1906), Paul Mueller, Selb (1917 - enabling them to start producing porcelain figurines), Bauscher brothers, Weiden (1927), Tirschenreuth porcelain factory (1927), and Königszelt porcelain factory, Königszelt (today Jaworzyna Śląska), Silesia (1928). In 1969, Porzellanfabriken Lorenz Hutschenreuther AG Selb merged with C. M. Hutschenreuther of Hohenberg." (Source: Wikipedia / The Old Stuff)
