From Wikipedia:

In 1885, Friedrich Goldscheider came from theBohemiancity ofPlzeňtoViennaand founded the Goldscheider Porcelain Manufactory and Majolica Factory. It became one of the most influential ceramic manufactories ofterracotta,faienceandbronzeobjects inAustria, with subsidiaries inParis,LeipzigandFlorence. For over half a century, Goldscheider created masterpieces of historical revivalism,Art Nouveau(Jugendstil) andArt Deco.

Famous artists such asJosef Lorenzl,Stefan Dakon,Ida Meisingerand the two perhaps best known Austrian ceramic artists,Michael PowolnyandVally Wieselthier, worked for Goldscheider. Several of the artists who worked for Goldscheider also worked for other Viennese studios, such asAugarten,Keramosor for the German brandsRosenthalandMeissen.

The Goldscheider family migrated in 1938 to the United Kingdom and the USA. Walter Goldscheider started a new factory inTrenton, New Jersey, and he returned to Vienna in 1950. Marcel Goldscheider went to Stoke-on-Trent and produced figurative ceramics for Myott, and he opened his own studio in the 1950s in Hanley. Both brothers died in the early 1960s.
