North Oaks, MN
Porzellanfabrik Bremer & Schmidt Porcelain . The cobalt blue of these pieces is amazing! There are 15 cups with saucers and the cups are 1.5 inches tall. There are 12 desert plates and a serving platter that is 11 inches in diameter.
Very good condition with little to no wear to the pieces. Beautiful for any collection. History of company: Founded in 1895 but not taking up production until 1896, the small company of Bremer & Schmidt started off with normal household items, stapleware and gifts. They soon started to produce finer items like coffee sets and soon had a good reputation for their fine porcelain which further increased after also introducing items decorated in the 'Zwiebelmuster' (Blue Onion) decoration style around 1905. In 1913, the workforce is mentioned to have reached 150 people, but that number had dropped to 120 in 1930, the same year the company was run by the proprietors Dr. Schmidt and a Mr. Knüpfer. Seven years later, the company only had a total of 110 workers and that number appears to have kept stable as the last report from 1949 also mentions 110 workers. The former Porzellanfabrik Bremer & Schmidt factory was closed in 1973.
