A classic creation by the famed German porcelain manufacturer Hutschenreuther.

 

A pristine grouping made from the finest German porcelain depicting three joyful dancing Cherub.

 

They are partially hand painted with light colors which are a little difficult to capture with the camera. Each of these creations is one of a kind as the painting always shows certain variations.

 

The sculpture bears underneath the under-glaze  Hutschenreuther mark and the model number as well as the name of the sculptor Karl Tutter, who has contributed with many fabulous designs.

 

Karl Tutter

(1883 – 1969)

Karl Tutter was one of the most famous porcelain modelers of the 20th century. His porcelain works gained him fame nationally and internationally. To some extent the Hutschenreuther art figurines owe their good reputation to Karl Tutter.

He created a large number of figurines for the brand Hutschenreuther, which had been acquired by Rosenthal in 2000.

Even though the brand is well known here are some details for those who are interested in the history of the company:

(Excerpt of Wikipedia)

The company was founded in 1814 by Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther (1794-1845) in Hohenberg an der Eger, Bavaria, Germany. He had previously worked at the Wallendorf porcelain manufactory.

After his death in 1845, the factory was headed by his widow, Johanna Hutschenreuther, and her two sons. From 1860, they produced hand-painted gilded porcelains. A large part of the factory was destroyed by a fire in 1848, but it was rebuilt.

Lorenz Hutschenreuther, Selb

In 1857 Lorenz Hutschenreuther, the son of C.M. Hutschenreuther, established a porcelain factory in Selb.

They expanded from 1902 to 1969 and were renamed Porzellanfabriken Lorenz Hutschenreuther AG Selb (Lorenz Hutschenreuther Porcelain Factories Company, Selb).
