KATZHUTTE HERTWIG & Co. (Germany) PORCELAIN FIGURINES (2) OF TWO GIRLS (Model Nos 792 And 794) c1930s (Both At Fault)
(Christoph Hertwig and Benjamin Beyermann founded the company in 1864 and after various test runs started full production a year later. In 1869 Beyermann quit and left Hertwig as sole proprietor who then employed his sons Karl and Friedrich as managers which over time slowly increased productivity. Around the year 1890 the company already had a workforce of 300 people and gave work to 600 home workers; they produced children's dolls, decorative objects, gifts as well as stoneware products and from 1900 onwards also made porcelain figures. Business went well for the next years and the number of employees remained relatively stable; the records show a number of 500 workers for the years 1907 and 1913 as well as 1930. The company was one of four German factories which produced Kewpie figures, a design by US artist Rose O'Neill.)
