Ernst Bohne Sohne (Ernst Bohne & Sons) c.1848 - ?
The Bohne Company manufactured decorative porcelain items. They became a branch of the Gebruder Heubach Company in the 1920s. The dolls produced by this company are distinguished by their high quality, elaborate hats and headdresses.
The history of the company is entwined with the turbulent history of the time period. It was purchased by the Gebruder Heubach Company shortly after World War I. In 1930 the Heubach company no longer needed the facility and it was sold and reopened in 1937. The factory was nationalized by the Eastern German Government after World War II and merged with the Sitzendorfer Porzellanmanufaktur in 1974. From that point, the company produced reproductions from old molds of the Ernst Bohne & Söhne and Karl Ens. (Luven, Half)
