A Brief History of the Gerold Porzellan Company

The original company, Neue Porzellanfabrik e.G.m.b.H. founded in 1904 rose to prominence for its exquisite, Dresden-style figurines and its hand-painted birds, vases, ashtrays and an assortment of other household items. It was started by a group salesmen who were in the business of reselling porcelain products.

By 1923 after much restructuring, the hiring of a manager, and adding industrial porcelain products to its inventory, the company was known as the Neue Porzellanfabrik Tettau A.G.. It was during this time young Fritz Gerold came into prominence of the company and by 1937, at the age of twenty-one, Gerold was appointed to head the Neue Porzellanfabrik Tettau, Gerold & Company earning them world-wide recognition.

In 1960 the name was shortened to Porzellanfabrik Gerold & Company 1993. It was some time during this period that Gerold died and the company began to have severe problems resulting in bankruptcy.

A few investors together with a bank took over the business renaming it the New Porcelain Company, Ltd.. Despite their efforts, in 1997 they were forced into selling the company to Lindner Porzellan located in Kueps, Bavaria, who promptly renamed the company to Porzellanfabrik Gerold Kueps. The facility was remodeled and all the old Gerod molds were destroyed. But alas, the ill-fated company once again failed and was forced to cease operations in 2002.

Today, Gerold Kueps is a subsidiary of the Seltmann Weiden Group, but they no longer produce any products using the Gerold name. Currently, the facility in Tettau is a museum and open for tours to the guests of a local hotel.

Gerold Porzellan had produced over 12,000 products, 80 percent of which was for household use, and employed generations of the best artisans in Europe, including many from Nymphenburg and Meissen. The mastery of Gerold's craftsmen in every aspect of porcelain-making is evident in the lovely figurines in both glazed and biscuit porcelain.

Gerold figurines have the soft muted coloring of Lladro and the whimsical look of Hummel's. At one point, trying to compete with Hummel, Gerold produced a number of figurines that were colorfully hand-painted. Personally, I prefer to collect the original figurines with the soft muted colors of blue, pink, gray, and green.
