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

Figures from the Vienna manufactory Friedrich Goldscheider were internationally sought after at the end of the 19th century and especially in the 1920s, capturing the taste of 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 ware designed by young artists. A product range—from figures, busts, animals, masks, vessels, lamps—met different customer demands. In 70 years, more than 10,000 models from earthenware and terracotta as well as bronze and alabaster went into production. Figures and vessels of the highest artistic and technical standards emerged in the era’s styles of Historicism, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. In 1938, the Goldscheider company was Aryanized and led during the war years by Josef Schuster. He ensured that new models aligned with the prevailing NS aesthetics. Rural figures in rough forms broadened the offerings, and the nude figures with refined faces and modest hairstyles from this period remained in fashion into the 1950s.

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 contributed to the Vienna workshops Augarten, Keramos, or the German brands Rosenthal and Meissen porcelain.
