This 6 x 8-1/4 inch, 48 page softcover Third Reich book by Dr. Hermann Gretsch is "A guide for everybody interested in contemporary design". Hausrat der zu uns paßt, Erster Band: Essgeräte (Housewares that suit us, First Volume: Tableware) is undated and was published by Willi Siegle Verlag of Stuttgart, probably in 1940 or 1941.
After a short introduction this interesting heavily illustrated book covers the history and design of serving pieces, plates, coffee and tea cans, milk pitchers, cups and saucers, forks, knives and spoons and their evolution into contemporary and conservative Third Reich styles.
Illustrations show coffee and tea pots, serving pieces and dishes by Porzellanfabrik Lorenz Hutschenreuther of Selb, Staatliche Porzellanmanufaktur Berlin, Porzellanfabrik Rosenthal & Co. of Selb, Porzellanfabrik Arzberg, and Villeroy & Boch, as well as silverware by Bruckmann & Söhne AG of Heilbronn and others.
The book also contains a wonderful picture (shown above left) of a long table at a DAF School set with red-rimmed white porcelain manufactured by Gebrüder Bauscher of Weiden.
A very hard to find Third Reich publication in very good used condition. A must for the library of any serious Nazi era porcelain, china and silverware collector!
