• FIGURINE #2 - GIRL HOLDING A CAT WITH A DOG LOOKING UP AT HER.
• BOTTOM IS MARKED WITH GREEN CROWN,  GEROLD PORCELLAN/BARVARIA GERMANY.

Gerold Porzellan has a short history, however, it produced over 10,000 products. The majority of the products it produced were for household use. Many of the workers were some of the best artisans in Europe, which included Nymphenburg and Meissen.

From 1937-1960 it was known as The Gerold & Company, Tettau, Bavaria. Then, in 1960, it was changed to Porcelain Factory Gerold & Company. In 1993, the name was changed again to New Porcelain Company, Ltd. It has since gone out of business (1997) and the facility was purchased by Lindner Porzellan. Some of the current employees are former employees of the old Gerold Porzellan. The facility in Tettau is now a museum and is open for tours.

One of the items Gerold produced was figurines. Some have the look of Lladro, while others Hummel. They have the coloring of Lladro; muted blues, grays, pink, and green. A small number of the figurines are made with a matte finish. There are some that were colorfully hand-painted, which were to be a competition to Hummel.
