Germany / Bavaria / Mitterteich:

[1] : Porzellanfabrik Julius Rother (1899 until 1904)

The factory was founded by Julius Rother together with his wife Fanny (neé Schicker), using only one kiln. The first director of the factory was Erich Gerstner who later stated that Rother had learned the trade right from the start and had exquisite knowledge of all production steps. Furthermore Rother was respected by his workers as he was always kind to them and the payments they received were also very generous, a porcelain decorator for example was able to have two suits made during the year which was very much at that time. Around 1900 the Bohemian businessman from the town of Asch Gustav Gerstner joined as silent partner.

[2] : Porzellanfabrik Julius Rother & Co. (1904 until 1918)

During 1904 Julius Matthes joined the company both as active director and shareholder; he was responsible for the financial and business relationship part while the Rother's concentrated on running the factory. In 1912 the Rother's themselves retired and left the factory with around 150 workers equally shared between Gerstner and Matthes who where in 1914 (the factory by then worked with four kilns) joined by Gerstner's son Ernst Gerstner; during this time the factory already exported to England, the Netherlands and the United States as well as Australia. Matthes in 1918 then sold his shares to the porcelain decoration studio belonging to Julius Rieber who had founded his successful original decoration business in the city of Selb in the year 1868. After initial talks with the remaining partners Rieber saw a great opportunity and offered to completely take over the factory.

[3] : Porzellanfabrik Joseph Rieber & Co. O.H.G. (1918 until 1923)

Ernst Gerstner remained in the new company as authorised signatory and the factory flourished and constantly expanded, especially after the founding of a subsidiary in the town of Thiersheim and the consequential transformation of the business into a stock corporation in 1923. During this period the factory employed between 200 and 250 workers.

[4] : Porzellanfabrik Joseph Rieber & Co. A.G. (1923 until 1971)

From then on the company included the full name of 'Porzellanfabriken Josef Rieber & Co. A.G. Selb-Thiersheim-Mitterteich' on their company paper even if all three parts were run independently. The Mitterteich factory mainly produced normal household items and dinner sets and it should be noted that the speciality was the 'Japonais' decoration style that had been purchased from Julius Rother and was strongly influenced by Japanese originals. It was by now highly successful as it presented a counterpart to many other companies that merely concentrated on 'Strohblume' (strawflower) or 'Zwiebelmuster' (Blue Onion). This success lead to further export contracts with customers in Norway and Sweden and regardless of a small fire that destroyed a part of the factory in January 1925 the number of employees constantly rose, peaking at 200 in Mitterteich and 150 total in Selb and Thiersheim in 1930. However the rigid internal company structure had its drawbacks and over the years even intensive expansion was not able to help the company cope with demand. This situation finally resulted in a sudden drop in business and in 1971 the company had to file for bankruptcy.

Porzellanfabrik Eduard Haberländer (1913 until 1929)

The founder of the factory and councilor to the board of commerce Eduard Haberländer had been planning such a facility in Windischeschenbach since 1906 but it took until 1913 before he could finally realize his plans and first production started in 1916, still restricted to staple commodities. The first product ranges were cheap and simple and production capacity was low.

[2] : Porzellanfabrik Oscar Schaller & Co. Nachfolger (1929 until 1950)

During 1929 the factory was taken over by Porzellanfabrik Oscar Schaller & Co. Nachfolger located in Schwarzenbach (Saxony-Anhalt), which at that point was a branch of the Gebrüder Winterling O.H.G. in Röslau (Upper Franconia, Bavaria). Based on a new concept, products under the 'Eschenbach' mark were changed. Up until 1935, the status of quality porcelain had been established, resulting in a strong economic upturn. But World War II left scars even in Windischeschenbach. The reason that only a small range of china from the 1913 to 1945 period still exists is that all china design ranges as well as all brochures and leaflets and nearly all company documents and correspondence were lost during the eviction by American soldiers. To get production on the way again the factory used molds from the defunct Porzellan-Manufaktur Allach-München G.m.b.H. and the resulting product range of course mostly included ornamental plates and tableware. For the first ten years after World War II, the factory went through an extensive expansion and modernization process with a later total of five tunnel kilns without a loss of production capacity.

[3] : Porzellanfabrik Gebrüder Winterling A.G. (1950 until 2000)

In 1950, the 'Winterling' company had corporation status and gave out shares, the main shareholders being the 'Winterling' family members. All daughter companies were re-named to 'Gebrüder Winterling A.G.' and most marks used up until then were changed. Next to normal household products, the factory started to specialize on hotel porcelain and around 1977 employed approximately 700 workers.

[4] : Triptis Porzellan G.m.b.H. & Co. K.G., Werk Windischeschenbach (2000 until 2003)

After the bankruptcy of the 'Winterling A.G.' in November 2000 the factory and mark were taken over by the Triptis Porzellan G.m.b.H. & Co. K.G. located in Triptis (Thuringia). The factory produced high quality household and hotel porcelain under the trademark 'Eschenbach Porzellan'. The Triptis management seemed only to be interested in the trademarks related to the Windischeschenbach facility and closed the factory in December 2003. But a company can not survive alone with a bunch of trademarks and soon it was obvious that the Triptis management had bitten off more than they could chew. Confronted with large scaled financial problems, Triptis themselves went insolvent on October 7th 2004 and had to file for bankruptcy a month later. In June 2005 the Triptis company was refounded as 'Neue Porzellanfabrik Triptis G.m.b.H.' and continued business, please view the Triptis entry for further info.
