This beautiful piece of collectable, fine porcelain from West Germany is a flash back to the retro beat of the 1980s.
FΓΌrstenberg was first established in Germany in 1747 and is still operational today, producing a range of porcelains still popular with collectors worldwide including tableware and figurines. It should be noted that many of their modern productions are made using their old moulds as a means to preserve their heritage
From all my readings I believe, and it has been said by made, that Furstenberg artists were never permitted to identify their works by signing them ... and yet here is one that is!
Hand painted Australiana themed: Eucalyptus tree gum nuts and leaves. On the back a genuine, underglaze back stamp recorded from 1980 and an overglaze artist's signature dated 1981.
A most unusual occurance, yet in 2007 Australia's own Bendigo Pottery co-jointly released a collectors' plate collection featuring Australian Christmas Scenes. This leads me to believe that possibly previous to that collection there may have been yet an earlier collaboration between these to notable porcelain companies.
