Born in Lithuania, 1895; studied art in St. Petersburg; came to the United States in 1939. Painted a mural at the New York World's Fair. In 1942 he opened a studio in Trenton, N.J. called Cordey China Co. The company made giftware - figurines and busts with ornate applied flowers, ruffles and scrolls. Around 1950 he also started his CYBIS STUDIO. Cordey continued production until sometime in the mid 1950's. The Cordey China Co. was sold, as Cybis had already started the Cybis Studio, which is known for fine artworks, and is still in business. You may visit the gallery and museum to view the collection of porcelains from Boleslaw Cybis' early Neo-Meissen rococo and papka styles. Boleslaw Cybis died in 1957.
