• Lot Description
  We are extremely proud to present this large antique hand painted Meissen style figural & floral two piece elevated compote from the skilled artisans of C.G. von Schierholz & Sohn. The sleeve is original to this Austrian Porcelain treasure. Von Schierholz items have not only brilliant colors, but exceptional detailing as well. The three Oak Leaves inside the shield with crown is highly recognizable, but our stamp requires careful examination, as it is RARE! Measures 11x11x16.25" Wt. 6pds. PROVENANCE: A Charleston SC Private Estate. Qualified references all date the Rare Three Tine Crown, As the first blue dot Mark only used in very early 1907. The 5 Tine Flattened Crowns With small and the large block script Von Schierholz (Handpainted) stampes were used from ca. 1908 – 1913, and ca. 1914 - mid 1930s respectively. With the longhand Germany, ours is the most valuable pre1908 mark, and certainly the rarest! The C.G. Schierholz & Sohn factory was originally established in 1816 by two brothers, Johann Karl Rudolf Heuäcker and Dr. Gottlob Ferdinand Heuäcker. Dr. Heuäcker died a year later and Johann took on Christian Gottfried Schierholz as a partner in 1817. In that year, the factory was granted an exclusive license for porcelain wares by the government of Schwarzburg-Sondehausen, which ruled the town of Plaue. These porcelain wares were HYGIOCERAMIC items, manufactured for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. In 1818 Johann Heuäcker left the partnership, leaving C.G. Schierholz as sole owner. Schierholz quickly made the transition to fine quality decorative hand decorated porcelain, producing some of the greatest examples of porcelain vases, compotes, and figural items in the storied decorated Meissen / Dresden tradition. In 1829, the manufactory was officially named C.G. Schierholz & Sohn, prospering over the next half century. Schierholz was further blessed in 1884 to employ their most outstanding modeler, Edmund Haase, who was responsible for outstanding figural designs, and the soon to be fabled Schierholz character beer steins. Haase had been trained as a sculptor at the Munich Academy of Art and his talents were so appreciated that he remained with Schierholz until his passing in 1914. Another modeler, Oskar Sieder, joined the firm in 1873 and worked with Haase to produce the majority of items in the custom stein product line.
