Ceramic Sign: Made in Austria Keramos 2051 19/M Wiener Keramos, later Keramos AG or Keramos KG , was a Viennese ceramics manufacturer that made a name for itself especially in the interwar period . In addition to their own designs, designs from the dissolved Wiener Werkstätte were also produced from 1932 onwards. In over 60 years of company history, around 3000 model designs have been produced by around 60 ceramists. Keramos also carried out commissions from the Wiener Werkstätte, such as vases by Dagobert Peche . History The origins of the Keramos company lie in two companies with the same name. The company Keramos – Invalid Society for Viennese Art Ceramics was founded at the end of 1919 on the initiative of the three ceramists Rudolf Wolf, Heinrich Wolf and Ludwig Rys, who had become invalids in World War I. Production started in September 1920. Art-ceramic lamps, figures, vases and boxes were produced. The company Keramos – Viennese art ceramics and porcelain manufactory was founded in 1920. Josef Hoffmann was a shareholder of Keramos for a long time, as was the sculptor Rudolf Podany, who was engaged from the start and created a large number of designs. From 1921 Anton Klieber was employed, who was also responsible for most of the models. Around 1924 both companies were merged and converted into an AG, commercial director became Otto Köller, the technical directors were the brothers Rudolf and Heinrich Wolf. "Some war invalid ceramists founded a workshop with the help of some artists, which was subsequently financed by the state and later enlarged with its participation and converted into a joint-stock company." The company's headquarters were in the Hofburg , Schwarze-Adler-Stiege, the factory in the 10th district of Vienna, Schleiergasse 17. Artistic collaborators at that time were Eduard Klablena , Otto Prutscher , Karl Perl , Karin Jarl-Sakellarios , IDA Schwetz- Lehmann and Grete Fucik-Fischmeister. On February 23, 1928, the triangular mark was entered in the trademark register. It was now also produced for the Wiener Werkstätte. Difficulties for the company arose from the Great Depression . Around 1932, 50 people were employed and a large number of models from Eduard Klabena and the dissolved Wiener Werkstätte were taken over. The works created by Keramos were labeled with their company brands until after 1941. From 1939 the economic situation of the company was better managed by taking over the production of ceramic winter welfare organization badges, the so-called WHW badges. Before 1941 the company is converted into a KG named Keramos, Wiener Kunstkeramik und Porzellanmanufaktur Brüder Wolf KG . Otto Köller was no longer active from this point on. After the end of World War II, Robert Obsieger recommended Robert Mathis as the new head of Keramos, who took over the management of the ceramics manufactory in 1945. In 1949 Mathis introduced a new company logo, which was used alongside the existing triangle mark, the so-called coat of arms mark. Anton Klieber and Rudolf Podany continued to work as ceramists, and new artists such as Josef Lorenzl and Stephan Dakon , both of whom had previously worked for Goldscheider , as well as Rudolf Chocholka, Karl Grössl and Ina Eisenbeisser were engaged. New models such as dancers, children's figures, animals and nudes were created, as well as the well-known wall masks, young people and poodles from the mid-1950s, which corresponded to the trend at the time. In addition, however, traditional designs such as Madonna statues and busts, saints and angels were still made. Utility ceramics such as crockery, vases, lamp bases, candle holders and flower pots also became an important branch of production, and cooperation with the German manufacturer Carstens at the beginning of the 1960s was just as lucrative. In the course of the 1960s, the sales markets for figurative ceramics became increasingly difficult. So until 1982, production was increasingly shifted to everyday ceramics, since ceramic figures were no longer modern due to changing tastes and the spirit of the times. Ultimately, the economic situation at Keramos became more and more difficult and Klaus Mathis, the son of Robert Mathis and then director, who succeeded his father at the helm of the company at the beginning of the 1970s, initiated the liquidation of the company at the end of 1982 . Staff The following artistic collaborators have worked for Keramos over the years: Hans Adametz , Franz Barwig the Elder , Franz Barwig the Younger , Andreas Beck, Hans Bolek, Angelo Bortolotti, Hertha Bucher , Rudolf Chocholka, Stephan Dakon , Ferdinand Doblinger, Eckstein, Franz Eggenberger , Ina Eisenbeisser, English, Stephan Erdös, Alois Feichtinger, Feyslitz, Hans Friedberger, Grete Fucik-Fischmeister, Kurt Goebel, Anton Grath, Karl Grössl, M.

A fabulous cold painted Art Deco bronze figure of a naked beauty in a revealing pose with very fine colour and excellent detail, raised on an onyx base and signed Adolph Additional information Height: 27 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition Circa: 1930 Materials: cold painted bronze & onyx SKU: 7692 ABOUT Josef Adolph Josef Adolph ~ Austrian, created many small figural models in the Art Deco period around 1910-1939. Typical for Adolph and at the same time characteristic of the Art Deco era, was the depiction of the concept of modern life - in particular, that of the “modern woman” in rhythmic, sensual and aerodynamic poses taken from the new forms of dance, for which there was a lot of enthusiasm at that time. The Art Deco Period: although Art Deco derives its name from the great 1925 Paris Exhibition, ‘L’Exposition Internatlionale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes’, the term is now generally applied to the typical artistic productions of the 1920’s and 1930’s. It might best be characterised as an attempt to unite arts with industry, embracing the machine age and repudiating the old antithesis of ‘Fine’ and ‘Industrial’ art. The sources of the Art Deco movement include Egyptian and Mayan Art, Cubisim, Fauvism and Expressionism, heavily influencing the chief force underlying all Art Deco...
