Skip to product information
Beautiful antique porcelain figurine of a couple frolicking and dancing at play, the lustrous colours of verdant green, matte pinks and a wide range of patinas accentuating their figures and movement.
Marked to Sitzendorf, the slashed S indicating a date of 1859 - 1900. Sitzendorfer Porzellanmanufaktur was established by Wilhelm Liebmann in 1850. Nestled in the beautiful valley of the upper Schwarza in the Thuringian Forest, Sitzendorf has gained special significance for Thuringian porcelain. Georg Heinrich Macheleid invented porcelain in this place, independently of others who did the same. In 1760, he submitted a request to Johann-Friedrich von Schwarzburg, Rudolstadt, with the request to open a porcelain manufactory here in Sitzendorf.
Therefore, Sitzendorf is the cradle of Thuringian porcelain. Most of the manufactory was demolished in 1858 in a blast, but reopened later and continued to run until the second world war.
