THERE SHOULD BE A STORY IN THIS PIECE OF ART
The exclusive privilege of this original Volkstedt factory was revoked in 1832, opening the way for smaller porcelain workshops to be opened in the region. One example was the operation begun by Anton Müller. His porcelain lace figurines gained immediate renown. His pieces can be identified by his stamp trademark: the crown over the letters 'MV," which stands for Müller - Volkstedt. By the late 1930's his operation had blossomed and was exporting worldwide, along with the older Volkstedt factory, which continues production to this day.
Müller - Volkstedt encountered more difficulties in the 20th century than the older factory, however. The factory was completely destroyed during the allied bombings of World War II. Although Anton Müller himself died at this time, his niece Johanna Saar was able to salvage some of the old master moulds and rebuilt the factory in 1945.
Volkstedt Porcelain has enjoyed a long history as it was located in the heart of Germany. The Volkstedt, as well as the Dresden and Meissen areas of Germany, are known for their almost translucent hard paste porcelain.
