RARE! 1960 GISELA KEILHAUER DRESDEN BALLERINA KÜPS FACTORY GERMANY!

The History of The Ballerina’s Creation courtesy of / : Porzellanmanufaktur Gisela Keilhauer (1950 until 2007) KüpsThe history of this factory actually started off with the small business of ⇒Josef Franz Sieber in Schwarza who created fine china lace figurines, reaching his peak production in the 1920s and 30s. Following the Second World War, Franz Sieber soon started to dislike most ideas of the coming socialistic regime and finally decided that it was time to flee when he was expropriated. Together with Gisela Keilhauer and her husband Lothar , the main sculptor, Sieber’s fled to the town of Küps in Bavaria. Sieber decided to retire there, but the Keilhauer’s established a new factory and continued the production of laced china figurines. Like before, these were completely hand-made and thus very interesting for collectors.
