Group two is a collection of early 20th century figurines from the Thuringia region of former East Germany.
Various potteries here produced figurines and dolls heads. One of it's most famous modellers was Karl Tutter who reproduced ceramics
after the more expensive bronze and chryselephantine statuettes of the 20's and 30's. Many of these figurines
were inspired by contemporary celebrities from ballet, cinema and the Folies Bergeres.

This next section contains a variety of ceramics from the Turn potteries of Bohemia. Probably the most
famous son of this region was Ernst Wahliss who owned porcelain departments stores in London and Vienna at the end
of the 19th century. Aquiring a factory near Taplitz he started to manufacture for himself. He later became
aware of the numerous models made redundant with the closure of the Vienna factory in 1864, and from these he began to
produce his own molds to produce artistic porcelain. Other well known factories in the region include Amphora and Ditmar
Urbach.

THE VIENNA SECESSION
In the 1890's several groups of artists in Germany and Austria seceded (broke away) from the official academies
who had previously dominated the art world. Rejecting former notions of style they embraced the right to create artistically.
The first group was organised in Munich, followed by Vienna and Berlin. Their first exhibition in 1898 was a success
and put Vienna firmly on the map as one of the major centres of avante-garde art. One of the major foreign influences
to make an affect on these artists was the English Arts and Crafts Movement
