Limerick figurine plant to close with loss of 15 jobs

Irish Dresden was set up in Dromcollogher in 1962 by a family who fled East Germany after the second World War. The delicate and elaborate pieces made at Irish Dresden originated from moulds which the Saar family managed to bring with them when they left Germany as refugees.

The company had a range of different suites of dresden. The moulded figurines with delicate lace frills and designs were hand painted and given a glazed finish. Some of the special master designs can be found in the White House, 10 Downing Street, Chequers and other famous residences.
