Johann Joachim Kaendler (1706-1775) is regarded as one of the most prominent personalities in
the 313-year history of the Meissen porcelain manufactory. His first three workshop employees
Johann Friedrich Eberlein (1696-1749) Johann Gottlieb Ehder (1716 7-1750) and Peter Reinicke
(1711-1768) contributed significantly to the appearance of Meissen porcelain in the first half
of the eighteenth century. The output of the workshop is the focus of the publication which
offers the first complete transcription of the work reports of the three modelers. A catalogue
on some 995 models has thus emerged whose individual entries act as a history of each model's
creation. This catalogue makes it possible to view the porcelain figures in their chronological
sequence of production to comprehend their relationships and to identify stylistic
transformations.
