Friedrich Goldscheider (1845-1897)

Friedrich Goldscheider was born in 1845 in Slabetz, Czech Republic and died 1897 in Nice. He is one of the most successfull entrepreneurs in the history of European ceramics. He founded his manufactory in Vienna under the name ‘Manufaktur Friedrich Goldscheider’ in 1885. His pieces matched the spirit of the times during the time around 1900 – and particularly in the 1920s. His pieces were well known internationally; they were made of faience, terracotta, bronze and alabaster and represented historicist, art nouveau, art deco and orientalist styles. The Goldscheider family emigrated to England and to the US in 1938 and started new ceramic manufactories there. Friedrich’s son, Walter Goldscheider only returned to Vienna in 1950. He had to shut down the manufactory for economic reasons. He sold the license to the Goldscheider name to a German company called ‘Carstens’. In 1987, Friedrich’s grandchild restarted the family business under the name ‘Stoob’. (cru)
