Wallendorf porcelain was originally fired from raw materials from the surrounding area, so the body was correspondingly impure and tinted. As early as 1780, however, the purchase and use of Bohemian kaolin made it possible to fire pure white bodies, so that in 1793 Wilhelm Martius said of Wallendorf porcelain: “It is dazzlingly white, … finely ground and so hard that it gives sparks on steel.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil 1833, the manufactory was then owned by the Hammann family. This was followed by many changing years, during which the Wallendorf porcelain manufactory found itself in the hands of various owners, names that still stand for porcelain tradition and quality today: Hutschenreuther, Kämpfe, Sontag, Heubach, Fraureuth and Heinz Schaubach. Wallendorf also o\u003cspan\u003eperated under numerous restructurings, including its 1953 nationalization under the East German government, until 2008.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wallendorf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68071144489188,"sku":"RA-0014574_A","price":590.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/9528\/7908\/files\/prince_odette_1a.jpg?v=1793601009","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutantiques.com.au\/products\/wallendorf-porcelain-figure-swan-lake-prince-and-odette-by-kurt-steiner","provider":"Roundabout Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
