Decorative Plate, Schumann Arzberg, Shephard and Hunter, Reticulated, Germany, Vintage

• Made in Germany
• Vintage:  1950's
• Details:  This is a beautiful porcelain plate made in Germany by Schumann Arzberg.  It has a country scene in the center, a hunter on horseback and hunting dogs by his side.  He seems to be talking to a shepherd who also has his dog with him, the dog is watching the large flock of sheep.  As beautiful and detailed as that scene is, we think the real star of this piece is the border.  It is reticulated in a gorgeous pattern all outlined in gold with added hand painted enamel flowers in vibrant colors.  In addition, there's a beautiful gold swirl verge and the plate is bordered in heavy gold.  It is stamped on the bottom with the Schumann Arzberg stamp: "Schumann Arzberg Germany".  Based on the stamp, and the decoration on the plate, we were able to date this piece to the 1950's.  This would make a wonderful gift.  Gorgeous decor!

Schuman Arzberg was originally founded in Arzberg, Bavaria, Germany by Christian Heinrich Schumann in 1881 as "Schumann & Riess".  When Mr. Heinrich passed away, his wife,  Christiana Schumann lead the company and changed its name to "Carl Schumann & Co". c.1892,  after their youngest son, Carl Schumann, (born in 1871).  Carl took over the company in 1896.  There was another name change in 1923 when the company became a corporation and was renamed, "Carl Schumann Porzellanfabrik AG".  And so it continued until 1926 when Carl Schumann passed away.  His son, Carl Schumann II took over the company.  Carl the second (II), who had studied in the USA in the 1920's founded the "Schumann China Corporation of New York" in 1928.  The Schumann China Corporation distributed Schumann products in the U. S. from 1928 until 1933 when it closed.  The Bavaria Germany company continued on.  In 1961 it was Carl III, who took over running the company, when Carl III resigned another branch of the family ran the business.  The business was reorganized, but was eventually sold to investors in 1990.   It finally closed in 1994.
