Christoph Fritzsche DIE AELTESTE VOLKSTEDTER PORZELLANMANUFAKTUR Ihre Geschichte von der Gründung bis heute ISBN: 978-3-89790-397-5 € 78 [D] | US$ 135 | £ 70 The complete history of the oldest Thuringian porcelain manufacturer ‘Volkstedt’ – the oldest Thuringian porcelain manufacturer, which is still in operation today. Its founder Georg Heinrich Macheleid reinvented porcelain in Thuringia. In 1760, he was granted permission by Johann Friedrich, Prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, to establish a porcelain manufactory in Sitzendorf/Thuringia, Germany. Relocated to Volkstedt in 1762, its products feature artistic representations of figures. The graceful appearance of the collector’s items, which include groups of shepherds and female dancers, is characterised by a great lightness, emotiveness and playful elegance. This monograph presents for the first time the complete history of the oldest Thuringian porcelain manufacturer, which is still in operation. With regard to the eighteenth century, the publication provides a virtually complete coverage of figural porcelain and a selection of crockery. In relation to the nineteenth century, it elucidates the manufacturer’s previously unexplained ownership situation and its frequently changing names. This is followed by an overview of the modellers and models, as well as of the subsidiaries established in the twentieth century. The publication concludes with contemporary artists’ designs for porcelain manufacturing in the twenty-first century. Have you seen our online press portal?

Hardback with dust jacket. German. Press Material THE AUTHOR CONTENTS Dr. Christoph Fritzsche, born in 1938 in Magdeburg, first came in touch with Meissen tableware in his parents’ home. Besides modest porcelain purchases, a collection of literature on porcelain came into being, which has extensively grown over the years, while studying physics with a subsequent PhD in Physical Chemistry in Mainz. 1. Vorwort During a tour of the ‘Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanmanufaktur’, belonging to the Seltmann group, in Volkstedt-Rudolstadt, the idea came up to write a book about this manufactory which is still producing today in Thuringia. In addition to the 18. century more recent times should be taken into account. This work has been published now, also thanks to Arnoldsche Art Publishers. 3.
