In 1955 took over the brothers Klaus and Peter Mueller the company led by their father. The production of conventional "point figures" kept running, parallel to it however a substantial part of the assortment to modern forms and Designs was changed over, which were sketched exclusively by Peter Mueller. A large role played from it patented "Sgrafo" technology. (here two or three superimposed dye films were applied and made visible in the halfdry condition by beginning to cut or nicking.) Further novelties were strongly colored Siebdruckdekore (1957) and on Teakholzplatten installed animal plastics (1958). Vases in "Korallenform" are dated today often into the 50's, them came however only 1968(*) on the market.

All Sgrafo porcelain is provided with a Logo and carries a seriennummer beginning with 1000. Early models show ivory hue, due to the oxidizing fire in the electrical furnace. (only after introduction of the gas firing clean-white porcelain could be hergestelIt.)
