Hans Guradze, studied first in the Academy of Dresden, later in the teaching institute of the Museum of Applied Arts of Berlin-Charlottenburg with Otto Lessing. He was also a pupil of Max Baumbach, Alexander Calandrelli and Alexander Tondeur in Berlin, where he continued his artistic work. In 1892 he exhibited at the Great Art Exhibition in Berlin, and in 1898 at the Crystal Palace in Munich his statue of Emperor Wilhelm II as Ulan of Prussia. Guradze specialised in 1900 in small bronzes, often depicting equine motifs. Part of his work has been implemented by the craftsman Gliesbeck Glazier, and also by the foundry Braunig and Langlotz.
Fritz Kochendörfer studied sculpture at the Munich Academy of Art. From then on, he worked mainly with marble in Rome and Florence. When he returned to Germany, he entered the service of Kunstanstalt Schumacher & Co. in Osterode am Harz, where he devoted himself to the production of artificial marble figurines, called "Marmalith", where he achieved great success. Later he set up his own workshops with products similar to those of Schumacher & Co. At times, the company employed more than 100 people with the production of small marble sculptures and objects in stone and terracotta.
