The Allach porcelain plant was first established by Himmler in 1935. The factory was situated in the small town of Allach, not too far from Munich. In 1936, the factory was headed by SS Obersturmbannführer Professor Diebitsch. It was Diebitsch’s job to deal with all artistic and architectural questions that interested the Reischführer. Some of the most famous potters from German porcelain galleries were hired to work at Allach. They included Professor D. S. Fichter, Professor T. H. Karner and also Ottmar Obermeier. Many of the pieces produced at Allach were not for sale and were delivered to the personal staff of Himmler who had them commissioned for presentation use. Many of the products were for sale to the general public, which included the bust of Hitler, the Fencer, various animals and also the mounted figures. There were also special porcelain pieces commissioned for the German police and the factory also made the Julleuchter. These Julleuchter were given out each year to SS enlisted man at the Winter Solstice. Most Allach porcelain creations will have the SS Kulturzeichen consisting of a set of SS Runes within an eight-sided figure positioned on the bottom of the piece. Usually this mark will be in green or black, but sometimes it is seen in white. Because of the small quantities of Allach porcelain that were produced, the prices are quite high; but given the quality, are definitely worth the money.

1.  ALLACH #33434 Göring Presented Allach “Pilot” Porcelain

   The “Pilot” porcelain figure produced by Allach is listed as Item #65 in their catalog. This porcelain has the same pilot's figure but what is different about this one and the standard figure is the fact that there is an extra inch and three-quarter wide base applied to this porcelain which features the Luftwaffe eagle in flight clutching a swastika. Hermann Göring had this extra base attached to about a dozen of these pilot porcelains for special presentation to Luftwaffe pilots. Because of the extreme limited quantity, these presentation pieces are extremely rare. This example is about fourteen inches in height and at its widest point measures about five inches. The detail throughout this porcelain is extraordinary and is in completely perfect condition. The depiction portrays a standing pilot with his right foot outward, dressed in flight gear. The pilot wears the leather flying helmet with goggles attached and the complete flight suit. The flight suit has all of the details to include the buttons, zippers, etc. This beautiful pilot also wears flight boots. The pilot retains his gloves in his left hand, which is positioned at his hip. The Luftwaffe eagle with swastika at the obverse base panel is also very beautifully done. The base that was added by Allach for the presentation Goering pieces shows some age cracking and there is one hair liner at the left of the pilot's right foot. This crack is under the glaze and is strictly caused by the age of the piece and is not a fault.

   This piece at the bottom has the name of the artist who was Professor Theo Karner. In the center is the raised out octagon figure with a green intertwined SS runes with the name of the firm below in green “Allach”. The model number of the figure “65” is also in glaze under the surface beneath the Allach logo. This is a tremendous opportunity to own an extremely rare Göering presented Allach figure. I was fortunate enough to acquire this beauty from a European attending the MAX Show.

   This impressive "Pilot" can be seen in the newly released Dennis R. Porell book entitled 'Allach Porcelain 1936-1945' Volume 1 on page 54. The author states that "there are four known examples of this rare variation known to exist today." It is not known if this example is one of the four or possibly a fifth. At any rate, the piece is very rare and very desirable.

2.  ALLACH #31594C SS Julleuchter

   This Julleuchter is made of a brown clay and as collectors know, these candle holders were produced in the Allach factory. They were made as gifts at the holiday season, mostly for SS NCOs and their families. The design was originally taken from a Swedish candle holder that Himmler had admired on one of his visits to this country. The yule leuchters are about 8¾” and are approximately 4½” wide at the base, but they taper at the top to about 2¾”. These leuchters are four-sided. Each side depicts are heart symbol which is open at the top and at the bottom there is a wagon wheel-like symbol. Obviously, I am not identifying these symbols correctly, as I am sure they are runics in Himmler’s SS alphabet. The symbols as well as the borders of the edges are all decorated in small dots pushed into the clay when wet. At the top, there is a round hole which accepted the wax candle. This leuchter has had a candle in it over the years and also has a type of wax coating clinging in some of the inside areas. One of the bottom legs has the SS runes cut into its surface as a proofing. Unfortunately, there is a chip on one of the 'wheel' symbols. These leuchters used to be around but they are getting very difficult to come by. This is the first example that I have had to offer in over a year.

This four-branch candleholder is a much more plain example, though, than the Rococo piece also offered by Allach. This piece is in perfect condition throughout. Very lightly on the base, the SS Allach runes can be seen and there is also perhaps a number or maybe the name of the original designer, but it cannot be made out. A beautiful Allach porcelain item.
