A GOLDSCHEIDER PORCELAIN FIGURINE OF BLACKSMITH
Large 21" Goldscheider porcelain terracotta figurine of Blacksmith, circa 1900, made in Vienna, Austria. Model by Michael Povolny.
In 1885, Friedrich Goldscheider came from the Bohemian city of Pilsen to Vienna and founded the Goldscheider Porcelain Manufactory and Majolica Factory. It became one of the most influential ceramic manufactories of terracotta, faience, and bronze objects in Austria. For over half a century, Goldscheider created masterpieces of historical revivalism, Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) and Art Deco.
Famous artists such as Josef Lorenzl, Stefan Dakon, Ida Meisinger, and the two perhaps best-known Austrian ceramic artists (Michael Powolny and Vally Wieselthier) worked for Goldscheider. Several of the artists who worked for Goldscheider also worked for other Viennese studios, such as Augarten, Keramos or for the German brands Rosenthal and Meissen.
Dimensions: H: 20 1/2 in., (52 cm.)
Condition: Very good considering the age.
