ALLACH THREE-CANDLE HOLDER (NO. 119)
Allach tabletop porcelain three-candle holder, 12" wide, marked on the bottom: "CARL DIEBITSCH" along with the number "119" and embossed Allach hallmark of stylized SS runes. A tiny chip affects the edge of one of the end scrolls, otherwise fine condition. The porcelain factory Porzellan Manufaktur Allach was established as a private concern in 1935. In 1936 the factory was acquired by Heinrich Himmler to produce works of art that would represent, in Himmler's eyes, true Germanic culture. Production was based at Allach, the largest subcamp of Dachau, and it used slave labor in the production of these pieces.
