About Paul Scheurich

Paul Scheurich (1883–1945) was a German painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and ceramic designer widely regarded as one of the most important porcelain modellers of the twentieth century. Born in New York City and educated at the Königliche Akademie der Künste in Berlin, Scheurich spent most of his career in Germany. From 1918 to 1936 he served as a designer and instructor at the Staatliche Porzellan Manufaktur Meißen, where he created some of the manufactory's most celebrated figure groups. He also designed porcelain for the Nymphenburg, Karlsruhe, and Berlin manufactories. His work spans mythological subjects, hunting scenes, equestrian groups, Arcadian landscapes, and animal figures, executed in porcelain, painting, sculpture, and lithography.

Common works and media

Collectors are most likely to encounter Scheurich's work in the form of Meissen porcelain figure groups — especially mythological, hunting, and equestrian subjects — as well as decorative porcelain vases and tableware models. He also produced lithographic prints, paintings of genre scenes and nudes, and small-scale sculptures. Porcelain pieces typically carry the mark of the producing manufactory (Meissen crossed swords, Nymphenburg shield, and similar).

Market and appraisal context

Scheurich's porcelain figures and groups from his Meissen period (1918–1936) appear regularly at international decorative-arts auctions. Key factors affecting appraisal include which manufactory produced the piece, the specific model or design, subject matter, condition, intact factory marks, and documented provenance. Works with a clear connection to his Meissen, Nymphenburg, Karlsruhe, or Berlin commissions tend to attract stronger collector interest. Collectors should also consider that Scheurich produced paintings, sculptures, and graphic works beyond porcelain, each with distinct market contexts.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers

  1. Attribution to a named Meissen manufactory designer increases collector interest
  2. Provenance linking directly to the Meissen, Nymphenburg, Karlsruhe, or Berlin manufactories can affect value
  3. Subject matter (mythological figures, hunting scenes, equestrian groups) influences demand
  4. Condition, intact marks, and edition size are standard factors for porcelain works

Appraisal caveats

  • No specific realized auction prices were available in the collected source pack; valuation should reference comparable lot records from major auction houses.
  • The RKD lists dual American/German nationality, but most sources treat Scheurich as a German artist; identity claims should reflect this nuance.
