Dimensions: Base 8.75" wide x 4" DeepHeight of Borzois: approximately 7" Tall Porcelain Factory Cortendorf, founded in 1890 by Julius Griesbach, mainly produced animal depictions. After acquisition by Goebel (today in Rödental) in 1973, numerous animal models created by Cortendorf like the kingfisher, were integrated in Goebel's product line. In 1890, Julius Griesbach founded this factory in Cortendorf (today part of the city of Coburg) which is also the home of the Hermann family that produced the famous Hermann teddy bears. The factory was able to utilize many different materials and next to a few porcelain items it actually mainly produced various household stoneware items including a large variety of mostly animal-shaped cofee and tea pots, most of which were sold unmarked to the U.S. company of Ebeling & Reuss from Philadelphia. Especially during the period between 1955 and 1960 the wall masks that were produced by the Cortendorf factory created a hype in Germany but the factory also received the iF award in 1958 for the casserole series "Brilliant". Further iF awards were rewarded in 1959 for the casserole "Kasserolle 9571a", a not further defined dessert bowl and the bowls named "Schüssel 9580" and "Schüssel 9578". Around 1963, the Cortendorf factory presented an additional series which matched the demand for "teak style" items. These items were produced at the Achental-Keramik Gertraute Griesbach in Staudach-Grassau but concept, design and marking (a crowned "RS") came from the interior decoration studio Raumschmuck Dr. Irmgard Fenner which was connected to the Griesbach family per business and family bonds. All own production ended after the factory was taken over by the famous W. Goebel company from Rödental in 1973. Marks
