Allach porcelain made a variety of candle holders ranging from elaborate gilded
baroque candelabras, to the most basic plain white porcelain single candle holder.
Production numbers for most candle holders were above average for other Allach items,
indicating popularity and interest among the German people. The varying styles and
cost of the candle holders produced at Allach allowed most Germans of every class to
own them.
The Allach Julleuchter was unique in that it was made as presentation piece for SS
officers to celebrate the winter solstice. It was later given to all SS members on
the same occasion. Made of unglazed stoneware, the Julleuchter was decorated with
early pagan Germanic symbols. Production numbers in 1939 alone were a staggering
52,635, certainly a record for any single item produced at the Porcelain Manufacture
Allach. |
