The silversmith Karl Schibensky let the old and new technologies of the enamels revive.
The design with rich color-contrasts and geometrical figures was very popular in the twenties and thirties and closed to Bauhaus Design.
This technique got a revival with an easily changed color-scale after the second world war.
Comparable works came from the Perli-Werkstatt in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Kollmar & Jourdan in Pforzheim and A.G. Bunge in München.
