  in Dresden, studying the popular art of china painting. In 1883 he
  emigrated to New York and sooner after to Pittsburgh, where we worked in
  a glass factory. After two subsequent moves and further practice in
  china painting, he started the Bischoff School of Ceramic Art in New
  York and Detroit. He maintained a studio in Dearborn, Michigan,
  conducting classes from there and in several major cities. During his
  14 years in Michigan, his work in pottery received the highest honors in
  the World's Fair Exhibitions in Chicago (1893), St. Louis (1904) and
  Paris (1900).
