Evaluation of the production of the Wilhelm Schiller & Sohn manufactory from an artistic point of view.
Benetka, Jaroslav ; Schöttner, Jan (advisor) ; Wittlich, Filip (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the history of the manufacturer of siderolite and majolica, the Wilhelm Schiller & Sohn factory in Horní Žleb. It focuses on the evaluation of the production of the factory during its existence between 1851 and 1910. The factory was one of the most important producers of siderolite and majolica in North Bohemia at the time. Franz Laube, the later director of the Technical school in Teplice (Teplitzer Fachzeichnen- und Modellir-Schule), was also one of the factory's employees. Wilhelm Schiller closely followed the artistic development of the world's styles and designed his models according to them, while preserving their own character. The factory employed a large number of people from the surrounding area.

The thesis does not cover all porcelain and creamware production, however it focuses on those factory where it was possible to detect ancient influences. The approach of the particular factories was strongly different. Czech porcelain factories took over ancient themes more likely from graphic patterns used in European workshops. The shapes derived from ancient pottery do not differ too much from the older and also contemporary European examples which were used as models. However, creamware objects tried, nesides the...
