Provenance: Estate of ’Mota’ Gur In 1928 an important line of modern ceramics was launched by the Goldscheider company. They encompassed such things as heads, masks, animals, figures, utilitarian household ceramics and reliefs and were intended to suit the new taste in furnishing and decorating homes. Die Schauldade, a decorative arts magazine, wrote as follows on the Goldscheider Mordern Ceramics: ”Recent years have brought forth, due to the modern decoration of rooms in dwelling, modern ceramics distinguished by clarity and harmony of form and surface design. Vases, bowls, candlesticks, masks and modern pices of sculpture shape this new trend.” Rudolf Knorlein won over the international as well as the domestic market in the 1930s with his designs of slender figures and tousle-haired wall masks and heads. The most popular Knorlein wall mask was ’Eva’, which was produced in several versions. The original Knorlein design depicts Eve with the apple in her hand and reddish hair. There are also examples with grey hair and with green hair as well as with a rose instead of an apple
