| History of Kaiser Porzellan |
| Kaiser Porzellan, then known as "Alboth & Kaiser" or "Alka", was originally founded in 1872 in the dukedom of Coburg. Later it was moved to Kronach and Hausen, Bavaria and finally to a more modern factory at Staffelstein. Several important sculptors have worked for Kaiser, including Gerhard Bochmann (who also worked for Goebel), Wolfgang Gawantka and Robert Tate. |
| This model began as a white bisque of the Kaiser #389 Kicking donkey by Gerhard Bochmann. The bisque was custom glazed by Paige Easley Patty. |
| Kaiser "The Quarter Horse of North America" by Robert B. Tate Limited edition of 2000 hand painted OFs; mold #646. Marked Kaiser West Germany. It seems obvious that Tate tried to produce a sculpture closely resembling the Orren Mixer quarter horse portrait that is called "The Ideal Quarter Horse" (above right). |
| This is the Kaiser standing donkey sculpted by Giuseppe Tagliariol (aka "Bepe Tay"). On the left is the decorated OF version; on the right is a custom glazed example done by Lyne Raff. This mold is also offered in plain white. |
| Kaiser #389 Kicking donkey by Gerhard Bochmann. This is the factory finish version in matte glaze. I have also see the OF done in a glossy glaze. |
