Description: The Figural Knight depicted in this auction was made by S.P. Gerz. The piece is pottery & figural. The form number is 318. The height size is 9 inches and the width is 6 inches. The figural knight is brown in color. The size is 2.0L. The interior of the piece is a very deep blue in color. On the bottom is the modern painted Gerz mark indicating the period from 1949 to 1990. This is a very beautiful figural knight. Simon Peter Gerz formed the company that bears his name in 1857, beginning actual production of ceramic wares in 1862. The economic upheaval brought about by World War I and its aftermath caused Gerz to cease production for a brief period in 1917/1918 and again in 1923, but nonetheless the company managed to survive for more than 135 years and, in fact, became the dominant player among Westerwald ceramics manufacturers in the period following World War II. Some questionable strategic decisions in the 1990s forced Gerz into bankruptcy and a partial liquidation in 1997, and in 1999 the company permanently shut down all manufacturing operations. However, rights to use of the company name and trademarks were purchased by Domex Geschenk-Manufactur GmbH, which continues to distribute Gerz steins today, albeit produced mainly in the Orient.
