About the Item

Rich orangish gold and black stripe the Hutschenreuther Tiger that appears to be on the prowl. To see this tiger is to be reminded of the great poem by William Blake: "Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?" Symmetry implies a sense of order and beauty, yet with the word “fearful” the meaning transforms. “Fearful symmetry” describes a tiger that is intentionally made to inspire fear with its predictable terror and violence. Wordlessly captured by Hans Achtziger for a Hutschenreuther creation. It is stamped on the bottom with the Hutschenreuther, Germany mark and the #5. Hutschenreuther is the name of a German family that established the production of porcelain in northern Bavaria, starting in 1814. The Hutschenreuther porcelain business was founded in 1814 by Carol’s Magnus Hutschenreuther (1794-1845) in Hohenberg an Der Eger, Bavaria, Germany. He had previously worked at the Wallendorf porcelain manufactory in Lichte (Wallendorf.) After his death in 1845, the factory was headed by his widow, Johanna Hutschenreuther, and her two sons. A large part of the factory was destroyed by a firedestroyed by a fire in 1848, but it was rebuilt. From 1860, they produced hand-painted and gilded porcelain products. In 1857, Lorenz Hutschenreuther, the elder son of Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther, established a porcelain factory in Self. They expanded from 1902 to 1969 and were named Porzellanfabriken Lorenz Hutschenreuthre AG Selb (Lorenz Hutschenreuther Porcelain Factories Company, Selb.)
