Hey, you are so great for doing that research for me. Yes (!) I agree, it is strange that we can't find a crumb of anything on this "studio" and I too had seen that metal works link. Well, that makes two of us. I've tried all sorts of search word combinations and I'm thinking its a dead end albeit a mystery of one.   
Thank you again for your investigations! 😃😃

Here are the pics of one of the dog breed plates. I am trying to find out about the history of the company, the dates when these plates would have been painted. Thanks again.

Hi, thanks to all who have replied with helpful suggestions! :-)
But mostly what I've found are sites where one is selling a plate.  What I am looking for and have not yet found is history on the Barnhart studios itself.  Where were these plates painted? What years was the studio in operation, when did it close? What range of dates would the plates I bought be from?  Etc.  I think it's strange that I can't find even a crumb of history.
Anyone have ANY idea??
Thanks again!

I can't find out anything on the Barnhart studios that hand painted Bavarian China with different dog breeds. Does anyone know more about these plates? I recently bought one with a scene of English Bulldogs and another with a scene of Lhasa apsas.  They are low numbered limited editions and are very finely painted.  Thanks so much
