Höchst suffered serious financial difficulties from 1756 until about 1759 when production was resumed on a larger scale. Laurentius Russinger was first mentioned as a modeller at the factory in 1758 and became its leading artist, helping to revive the factory's fortunes.1 A similar example of the sculptor group is illustrated by Kurt Röder and Michel Oppenheim, Das Höchster Porzellan, Mainz, 1930, pl. 26c, no. 157, and on pp. 37-38 the counterpart figure of a painter is mentioned.

1. See Horst Reber, 'Russingerprobleme', in Keramos 58, 1972, pp. 27-43 and Höchster Porzellan des 18. Jahrhunderts aus Privatbesitz, Exhibition Catalogue, Jahrhunderthalle Hoechst, Frankfurt, December 1984 - January 1985, pp. 49-51 for discussions of Russinger and his role at Höchst.
