Description from the seller
Carl Nacke (1876–1953) porcelain casket with polychrome decorations and gold by Fraureuth Kunstabteilung, produced circa the 1920s. Design by Karl Nacke, 1920, green factory mark, ribbed cylindrical body and corresponding interlocking lid with fill elements in a frieze shaped like a tongue and a pensive Cupid with a bow as the three‑dimensional lid knob, decorated with blue‑yellow enamel paint and a gilded edge as a partial background or oval medallions with stylized flowers, gilding on the knob partially worn.
Kunstabteilung was founded in 1916/1917 in Germany to produce art porcelains, statuettes, and high‑end decorative objects. The Fraureuth main factory (active since 1866 and transformed into a joint‑stock company in 1891) decided to create a dedicated art department to respond to the growing demand for artistic porcelains and collectible figurines. Expansion to Wallendorf (1919): In 1919 Fraureuth AG acquired the historic Wallendorf porcelain factory (Lichte/Wallendorf) and moved much of its Kunstabteilung there. Dresden workshop (1917–1926): A decoration and painting workshop was also established in Dresden for premium finishes.
In excellent condition with no damage. Dimensions: height 20.7 cm, diameter 21 cm. Careful worldwide shipment with UPS, DHL or FedEx.
