About the Designer:

The story begins in 1885 with Friedrich Goldscheider, founder of the Goldscheider porcelain factory in Austria, with subsidiaries in Paris and Florence. This zebra is one that comes from the history of the Goldscheider family, originally from Austria. We are discussing the history of several generations of outstanding potters, their founder, and the Goldscheider brothers, who were forced to emigrate in 1938 during the Nazi occupation period. 

One of them, Walter, emigrated to the United States, and the other, Marcel Goldheider, to England. Marcel Goldscheider settled in Staffordshire and worked on figurative ceramics under the firm Myott Son & Co. He later set up his own studio in 1950. 

The works were representative of Art Nouveau or Jugendstil, Sezessionstil (names that this style received according to different countries), and Art Deco. The history of the Goldscheider family, with three generations of potters, creators of many highly valued and award-winning ceramic objects. Today, those objects that they created are considered unique pieces sought after by many collectors.
