Is Carl Scheidig porcelain still made today?

Carl Scheidig porcelain has a history stretching back to 1906, though collectors often ask whether the company still produces figurines today. The original factory experienced many changes during the twentieth century, including changes in ownership, production methods and political control.

Like many traditional German porcelain makers, Carl Scheidig faced strong competition during the late twentieth century as collecting habits and home decoration trends changed. Large-scale production linked with the original factory is no longer a major part of the international porcelain market and most Carl Scheidig figurines available today are vintage examples found through antique dealers, specialist auctions, estate sales and private collections.

New discoveries still appear as families sell inherited collections that have remained untouched for decades and collectors often search for figurines made during the first half of the twentieth century, though pieces from later decades continue to attract interest. Older examples usually appeal to buyers looking for traditional German craftsmanship and hand-painted decoration. The company name remains well known among porcelain enthusiasts, especially those interested in Thuringian factories.
