Höchst Porcelain

Höchst figurines cover a wide range of subjects. Artists modelled pastoral couples, musicians, street sellers, and children at play. Theatre and opera characters appeared, echoing popular stage productions of the time. Mythological figures and allegories, such as the Four Seasons or personifications of continents, formed part of larger decorative schemes. Exotic themes gained attention as well, with Chinese and Turkish costumes used for fantasy court scenes. Museums in Mainz and Frankfurt show many of these subjects, giving helpful reference groups for collectors who wish to identify their own figures.
