Porcelain (aka porzellan) and Germany have a long history, with some successful manufacturers still in production today, producing classic and timeless porcelain pieces.
Across the mid-century era however porcelain production boomed, with a number of players hitting the market, flooding consumers with an extensive range of products.
Companies in the field across this period included Rieber, KPM, Kaiser, Heinrich, Scherzer and Bareuther to name a few.
