I first heard about Christian Lückel in 1986 when I bought a series of  theme plates called ”Lückel’s idyllic village scenes” which was  fabricated at Seltmann Weiden consisting of 10 motives in total and  startet with the plate “In front of smithy” shown on the right.

This was only one of his many theme plate designs always sure to enjoy a lot of recognition and demand.
