Meißener Ofen- und Porzellanfabrik (formerly C. Teichert)

In 1857, the master potter Johann Friedrich Carl Teichert took over the production of stove tiles from the modeler of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory. After Teichert’s death, the production of porcelain was launched and the factory was renamed ‘Meißener Ofen- und Porzellanfabrik (formerly C. Teichert)’. The porcelain, often featuring the classic hand painted blue onion pattern, would become known as the ‘middle-class Meißen’. After 1891, the product range was extended and different kinds of tiles were produced. In the 1920s, the company bought the shares of a couple of manufactories, including Ernst Teichert Ltd., and the production continued under the new name ‘Teichert Werke’. In 1930, the porcelain production was ceased and the company continued the production of stove tiles. (cko)
