Bunzlauer Keramik Ceramics

The result of an international interdisciplinary research project, this publication is the first comprehensive monograph of a ceramics factory in Lower Silesia, the Feinsteinzeugfabrik Julius Paul &Sohn in Bunzlau, active from 1893 to 1945. A particular challenge for the authors was the fact that no historic source material had survived, all the regional achives and librairies having been destroyed during the war. Only a few original documents, which withstood expulsion and flight, remained for evaluation. After the most thorough and wide-ranging researches, it became possible to reconstruct almost completely the factory's whole output on the basis of over 6,000 Julius Paul ceramics scattered among more than forty museums, collections and private owners in Poland, Germany, Austria and Holland, and finally to publish the results. This work seeks to trace the history of a small pottery that became a world-famous company. Through comparison of measurements, shapes and designs as well as productLippert, Inge is the author of 'Bunzlauer Keramik Ceramics', published 2007 under ISBN 9783897901681 and ISBN 3897901684.
