Footnotes
In 1933, with the permission of the Meissen manufactory, Paul Scheurich supplied three models to the Majolica manufactory in Karlsruhe where Wolfgang Müller von Baczko had been the director between 1928 and 1932. Müller von Baczko valued Scheurich's work very highly and for the three models Karlsruhe developed a special dark-brown clay.
