Description HUS 8287 B Heinz Schaubach Unterweissbach Germany Expertly Painted Rare Cavalier Man & Lady Courting Couple 6 3/4" Figurine 1940-1958
 This one is in Very Good Condition NOTE: There are some flaws as noted, The Lady has the tips of her thumb and forefinger missing. There appears to be a missing piece next to the first flower on the left side of the base. There is a color touch-up on the far left base next to a flower and the back of the figurine (SEE Pictures with Pen). These are hard to notice. I had to use my magnifier to see them closely.  We considered the condition of this figurine when pricing it. Very nice Heinz Schaubach, Unterweissbach enamel painted figurine. This is expertly hand-painted in blues greens and yellow stripping. The figure is of a Lady sitting next to a Cavalier Gentleman ( 1. : a gentleman trained in arms and horsemanship. 2. : a mounted soldier: knight.) holding a basket of flowers. Notice the details painted on their clothes and the flowers around them. The colors are bright and clean. The base is oval and has the Heinz Schubach Unterweissback with a Crown over the initials HUS mark. This mark was used from 1940 to 1958.

This measures 6 3/4" High x 4" Wide x 6" Long oval base.  I have provided a lot of pictures to best describe the condition of this figurine. 
COMPANY HISTORY: In 1882 Hermann Jost founded the porcelain Porzellanfabrik Unterweißbach. First, only plates and kitchenware were produced. A constant rise in quality was achieved as more and more skilled workers were employed and so the range of products was also growing. In 1890 the company was bought by Rudolf Mann for 30,000 Marks and two years later businessman Fritz Porzelius joined the company as an associate.

History had a bad surprise up its sleeve. As a consequence of the World Financial Crisis (from 1929 until around 1933), the company had to file for bankruptcy and the 'Porzellanfabrik Unterweißbach' was split out of the assets and the Aelteste continued business as Staatliche Porzellanmanufaktur Thüringen.  Karl Saar owned the factory from 1936 onwards, but he passed away in 1940; the factory was quickly taken over by Heinz Schaubach, who already owned the well-known factory in Wallendorf. Schaubach decided to completely restructure the business and brought the workforce down to a mere 40 people. At the same time, he sold a few factory buildings and thus secured enough money for his next step. He then changed the product range, abandoning the simple mass-produced models and re-introducing the much more demanding artistic work. These measures were very successful, resulting in an economic upturn. In 1953 the factory not only had a very good reputation again, but it was also back to a workforce of 160 people.
