While the firm of Schleissner was among the first in Hanau to begin producing such items it is probably Neresheimer who are the firm most associated with the craft, in no small part due to their partnership with Berthold Muller who was importing the companies wares into the United Kingdom in the late 19th and well into the 20th century.

Other examples include a pair of knights, by Neresheimer, which were 54.5cm high (Sotheby's New York, 12 October 2009, lot 18) and a pair of figures on horseback on green stone bases (Christie's, London, 9 December 2010, lot 52).
