About the Item

Art pottery dog figure teapot made by Erphila in Germany between 1945 and 1949. This rare teapot is in majolica glazed. Even if the model 6703B was produced from the 1920s onwards we know a more precise production date from the bottom stamp "Made in Us Zone Germany". After WWII Germany was divided in four zones of influence between 1945 and 1949. Marked on bottom: "ERPHILA GERMANY", "MADE IN US ZONE GERMANY" "6703B". The teapot is generally in good conditions except the neck of the dog that is chipped in two parts. Collector's note: Ebeling & Reuss of Philadelphia (Erphila) Zeh, Ebeling & Reuss Co. was established by the German emigrants Theodore Ebeling and Frederick Reuss which had teamed up with the owner of a glassware and china business, John E. F. Zeh. The company imported porcelain, earthenware, and ironstone from several Bohemian, Czechoslovakian factories and other European countries, including dinnerware, decorations, and gift items. Zeh withdrew from the company in 1900; it was renamed to Ebeling & Reuss Co. before moving to Devon, Pennsylvania. Business increased further as the company quickly became a major supplier of porcelain figures and teapots to shops in North Eastern United States. The company's import volume peaked in the late 1940's/50's and with George Ebeling as long time manager, the company also remained in the hands of the Ebeling and Reuss families. Early in the 1980s it was already pretty obvious that Ebeling & Reuss needed to restructure and take up new ideas. In 1986, the company became exclusive distributor for the Crystal Signature line of Swarovski figures, far too late to make a change. While Ebeling & Reuss slowly drifted towards bankruptcy in 1988, Swarovski International wanted to halt development of the figurines in breach of its duties under the distribution agreement. During the investigation, one of thousands of internal Swarovski documents finally showed that it was planned all along to take back the distribution rights to the crystal figurines if the venture proved to be successful. What makes this company interesting is the fact that they imported products from many factories, including the German firms of Alboth & Kaiser (Kronach, later Staffelstein), Fürstenberg (Fürstenberg), Goebel (Oeslau / Rödental), Heinrich & Co. (Selb) and (from 1955 onwards) Carl Schumann (Arzberg). The firm also imported goods from the Keramos company from Austria and the company of Ditmar-Urbach located in Teplitz-Turn (today Czech Republic); furthermore they purchased items from various manufacturers around Limoges (France).
