ETZLER & ORTLOFF

Waltraud von Stauffenberg comments (via Jennifer Pomerance): "Metzler & Ortloff started 1875 and closed 1972. They made household and decorative items, toys and doll heads, which were very popular also.. In 1972 to factory was nationalized and changed into VEB Kunstporzellan. Metzler & Ortloff had several different marks, [including] one like two hammers and letters between, a crown with M&O on the bottom and the name Metzler and letters."
