About the manufacturer:
Friedrich Goldscheider (born November 6, 1845 in Slabetz in Bohemia; died January 19, 1897 in Nice) was an Austrian entrepreneur, terracotta and bronze manufacturer.

Figures of the Vienna manufactory Friedrich Goldscheider were internationally sought after at the end of the 19th century and especially in the 1920s, appealing to a broad audience. Goldscheider is among the most successful companies in European ceramic history.

From the outset, the “Porcelain-Manufacture and Majolica Factory” focused on serially produced, high-quality wares designed by young artists. A product range – with figurines, busts, animals, masks, vessels, lamps – met diverse customer demands, and over 70 years more than 10,000 models were produced in frit and terracotta as well as bronze and alabaster. Figures and vessels of the highest artistic and technical standard emerged in the era’s characteristic styles: Historicism, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. In 1938 the Goldscheider company was Aryanized and during the war years was led by Josef Schuster. He ensured that new models conformed to the ruling NS aesthetics. Rustic figures in coarse forms then expanded the offering, and the nude figures with their chaste expressions and moral hairdos from this period remained in fashion into the 1950s.

The Goldscheider objects were created, among others, in collaboration with the artists Walter Bosse, Alexandre-Louis-Marie Charpentier, Demétre Chiparus, Stephan Dakon, Claire Weiss-Herczeg, Benno Geiger, Kurt Goebel, Rudolf Knörlein, Dina Kuhn, Josef Lorenzl, Ida Meisinger, Michael Powolny, Adolf Prischl, Hans Stephan Stoltenberg Lerche, Arthur Strasser, Wilhelm Thomasch, Vally Wieselthier. Artists who worked for Goldscheider also worked for the Wiener manufactories Augarten, Keramos, or for the German brands Rosenthal or Meissen porcelain.
