Wallendorfer Porzellan or Wallendorf Porcelain is a porcelain manufacturing company which has been in operation since 1764 in Lichte (Wallendorf) in the Thuringian Highlands or Forest, Germany.
In 1932 Heinz Schaubach Kunst took control of the Wallendorf porcelain factory and re-named it Schaubach Art, also known as Porzellanfabrik Schaubach Kunst. In 1953 the German Democratic Republic nationalised his business and said it was the “property of the people”. Kunst left Germany and gifted a good friend, Franz Goebel, with the design of many of his creations. G
