It has a tiny shortcoming at the inside base corner and small firing stains at the base. Dimensions: Height 21 cm Base width 6.5x6.5 cm The Porzellan Manufaktur Allach München GmbH factory was established as a private company in 1935 in the small town of Allach, near Munich in Bayern, Germany. In 1936 the German SS purchased the factory. The factory became part of the WVHA, Amtsgruppe W, Amt 1, section 3 (W I-3). Heinrich Himmler, the SS Reichsführer, saw in such purchase the opportunity to produce on industrial scale porcelain and ceramic works of art which would represent, in the eyes of Himmler and the German people, the real Arian -Germanic culture. The fall of the Third Reich on May 8, 1945 did end forever this production.
