known as one of the greatest porcelain figurine makers for about 200 years.
Its most famous Lion mark is a symbol of high quality and artistic design.
Hutschenreuther’s art department was established in 1917. Nowadays, the Lion
mark is under umbrella of Rosenthal Group. This figurine is marked on the
backside with standard gold production mark of Art Department used in c. 1946 -
1948.
Three famous artists, K. Tutter, C.
Werner, and G.
R. Granget designed their Angels’ Concert series. Karl Tutter (1883 – 1969)
designed this figurine. There is ‘K. TUTTER’ incised on the backside. He
was a leading designer for Hutschenreuther during almost forty years. He
received his education in art in Austria and originally worked as a
painter. His passion for porcelain came much later. After World War I he
spent about six years as a prisoner of war in Siberia and worked as a
modeler in Chabarovsk. He joined Hutschenreuther in 1922 as a sculptor.
Later he emerged to china design and his works bought him world
recognition. His passion was sculpture. He was the best in controlling
plastic forms in Hutschenreuther and his imagination had no boundaries. His
figurines remain the most collectible.
