Galluba & Hoffman German porcelain figurine of a frog on lilypad. Produced early 20th C.
The company of Galluba & Hofmann started off specialized on decorative porcelain, porcelain dolls and gift items. Most collectors will probably know Galluba & Hofmann as manufacturer of 'snow babies', but these were only a small part of the product range which also included other figures that were mainly designed by G. Mardersteig or the sculptors Poertzel and Leuthäuser. Some pieces were created by Siegismund Wernekinck, who also worked for Metzler & Ortloff.
The business reached its highest employee count in 1913 and at that time gave work to over 300 people, by then mainly producing luxury porcelain for export. Official records show that only a mere 140 people still worked for Galluba & Hofmann in 1930 and in 1937 the factory was closed.
Size: 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 3 in.
