Literatur:
Fritzsche, Christoph: Die Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanmanufaktur. Ihre Geschichte von der Gründung bis heute, Stuttgart 2013, zu Hugo Meisel S. 211-213.

Als Hugo Meisel 1920 im Alter von 33 Jahren an die Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanfabrik zurückkehrte, hatte er einige ereignissreiche Jahre hinter sich. Der aus einer Porzelliner Familie stammende Thüringer Maler und Bildhauer war bereits 1912 für die Manufaktur tätig gewesen. Zwischen 1918 und 1920 studierte er an den Kunsthochschulen in München und Berlin, nachdem er 1917 im I. Weltkrieg einen Arm verloren hatte. Dies war für Meisel jedoch kein Hindernis, aufsehenerregende Großplastiken für Volkstedt zu entwerfen, deren Dimensionen seit Kaendler oder Kirchner nicht mehr erreicht worden waren
