Why do collectors care about Höchst Porcelain?

Collector’s care about Höchst Porcelain since it holds a key place in early European hard-paste production. The factory began in 1746, only a few decades after Meissen, and supplied porcelain to important clients in the Holy Roman Empire. Historic Höchst pieces show high-quality modelling, detailed painting, and elegant Rococo forms. The factory produced both figures and tableware, so collections can cover a complete eighteenth-century table. Museum collections in Mainz and Frankfurt contain many Höchst objects, which gives strong reference points for study and comparison.
