Magical Fairy Tales From Old Russia are based on the original art of Gero Trauth. The first series of six plates was issued in 1986-1987 by Heinrich Porzellan, a subsidiary of Villeroy & Boch in Mettlach, Germany. A second series of six plates were issued in 1988. World wide production was limited to 19,900.
Gero Trauth (b. 1942 in Silesia, Poland) is a German painter, graphic artist, porcelain illustrator and designer. He studied Arts, Graphics and Design at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. From 1984-1997 he maintained a successful partnership with Villeroy&Boch/Heinrich–Porzellan in Selb. He has exclusive table settings and dinnerware for Paloma Picasso and other exclusive objet d’art. Trauth has a wonderful sense of style and color and the black background of each plate makes the artwork jump out. He has his own website and a Wikipedia page as well.
