about
Helena Wolfsohn
Helena Wolfsohn was a successor of her father who run a porcelain business under the name L. Meyer & Söhne. She was buying white porcelain mostly in Meissen and decorated it imitating style of the oldest Meissen pieces by Johann Gregorius Höroldt. She also used Watteau paintings as her inspiration.
The Helena Wolfsohn decorating studio produced some wares of exceptional quality. Porcelain painting expert Dorothy Kamm says in Knockoffs or Knockouts, " So great were the talents of the artists who worked for Helena Wolfsohn that porcekain from her shop...were often mistaken for Meissen's decorative ware"
