Biography of the manufacturer:

The porcelain factory Hertwig & Co. existed from 1864 to 1990 in Katzhütte, Thuringia. From 1958 it was run as VEB Zierkeramik Katzhütte.

In 1864, Hertwig and Beyermann, together with Carl Birkner, bought the site of the shut-down Unteren Hammerwerk in Katzhütte, one of the poorest places in the country, where they set up a porcelain factory and, after various test runs, a year later began the series production of luxury and fantasy items such as figurines, cans, doll heads and pipe stubs for their porcelain painting in Groß Breitenbach.

From 1868 Christoph Hertwig was the sole owner of the porcelain factory in Katzhütte. He died on November 15, 1886, after which his sons Carl and Friedrich took over the business.

From 1900 the company also produced porcelain figurines in the Art Nouveau style and later also in the Art Deco style. The sculptor Stephan Dakon was one of the designers.
