Set of 6 Vintage 80s textured crystal glass serving or dessert plates from GOEBEL Germany.
The company of F & W Goebel was founded in January 1871 by Franz Detleff Goebel, a porcelain merchant, and his son William. It was not until 1879, with the permission of the Duke of Coburg, that they fired up their first kiln, however. Until then, the Goebels produced slates, slate pencils and children’s marbles. The porcelain works of F & W Goebel began producing porcelain dinnerware pieces and by 1900 was one of the largest firms in the region, with approximately 400 employees. Franz was beginning to defer more and more of the artistic direction to William, who was looking for ways to further grow the business and expand the product lines. Under William’s direction, the company name was changed to W.Goebel Porzellanfabrik and output was expanded to include figurines, dolls, lamps, candy dishes, and vases.
