Professor Theodor Karner |
Professor Theodor Karner was born in 1884 and died in 1966 in Munich. During his lifetime he sculpted for several porcelain factories, producing beautiful and memorable animal figurines: Nymphenburg 1905-1918 Rosenthal 1919-1934, 1954+ Allach 1934-1944 Eschenbach 1947-1953 Thomas & Lindner (dates unknown) |
An illustrated list of Karner figurines sculpted for Rosenthal can be found at Audrey Falconer's page: |
Karner was at the top of his career when the National Socialist (Nazi) Party controlled Germany. Karner's millitary subjects were quite popular in Germany and highly prized. His work produced through the Allach Porcelain Factory was superb despite the fact that the factory was controlled by the SS. |
