Est. 1756. This is the smallest of the manufacturies with an eclectic inventory. They make just one animal ( a goat) and 2 birds but many beautiful traditional figures. Amongst their selection of flatware which includes exquisitely painted baskets, trays and vases are some simple contemporary designs that show off the beauty of the porcelain body to perfection. This is a genuine Ludwigsburg Porcelain Figurine of a Chinese Falconer. It is approximately 4.5 inches high and in excellent condition free from chips, cracks, crazing, repairs or discoloration.

The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive features falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.
