Book Description
This pioneering book is dedicated to the many Dresden studios
that were in business in Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Harrans, authors of two editions of Collectible Cups and Saucers, have researched the Dresden studios, which were mostly destroyed during World War II. This book contains
more than 550 color photographs, as well as illustrations and original catalog pages of fine Dresden. The book includes background information on the town of Dresden and the decorating studios. The manufacturing and decorating processes are provided, as
well as sections on Helena Wolfsohn, Carl Thieme, Donath and Company, A. Lamm, F. Hirsch, and R. Klemm. For each studio discussed, the authors provide historical information, style, forms, marks and photos. There is a section on Dresden lace figurines,
collecting tips, a discussion on reproductions, a bibliography, and an index. Dresden Porcelain Studios is sure to be a hit with collectors.
