Description
Mid 20th century miniature dish, made by Schramberger Mojolikafabrik (SMF) decorated in the Tessin Decoration, a striped pattern in okra, pick pale blue and black.
Schramberger Mojolikafabrik was founded in 1820 by Isidor Faist under the name Faist’sche Steingutfabrik. During the 1880s, the company began manufacturing for Villeroy & Boch and was later bought by Villeroy & Boch in 1883. Later in 1912 the company was bought by Moritz Leopold Meyer and the SMF mark was used, with the name Schramberger being introduced in 1918. Due to the war, the owners fled Germany with the son of Moritz, Peter Meyer returning in 1949 to continue the business. Peter Meyer later died in 1980 and the company declined, eventually closing in 1989.
