The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Established in Thuringia, Germany, in 1850, the Sitzendorf manufactory became renowned across Europe for producing fine hard-paste porcelain figurines and decorative wares, characteristically decorated with intricate hand-painted enamel and Rococo-inspired motifs.

These figures were cast from fine hard-paste porcelain kaolin mixtures, fired at high temperatures, and subsequently detailed with hand-applied enamel paints, overglaze colours, and leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces generally feature underglaze factory marks on the underside of the base, such as the crown over S mark used from 1884 onwards, alongside precise hand-painted facial details and fine porcelain quality.

Small porcelain figures add historical interest when styled within glass display cabinets, arranged along a mantelpiece, or paired with books on open shelving to create visual depth.

Clean gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical detergents or immersing gilt areas in water, as moisture can compromise delicate overglaze enamels.
