Fig. 132.—Fürstenberg.
In Fig. 132 is seen a basket from Mr. Wales’s collection, made at Fürstenburg, which is carefully modeled, though it bears very little decoration.
Nymphenburg, in Bavaria, had a small porcelain-manufactory as early as 1746 or 1747, but it seems to have had only a fitful and uncertain existence until after the death of Carl Theodor, when the Frankenthal workmen were taken to Nymphenburg, carrying with them skill, taste, and knowledge. The manufactory received many favors, and much good work was done. Among the known artists employed were Heintzmann, who painted landscapes; Adler, who did the figures; and Lindemann. Some of the white pieces made at Nymphenburg bear the impressed stamp of the factory, and painters’ marks also, when decorated outside the walls of the manufactory.
The establishment is said to be still in existence. Nymphenburg was once a royal palace, a few miles from Munich.
