Furstenberg.Vase Crater.Painting on porcelain.19th century.
The Fürstenberg porcelain manufactory (German: Porzellanmanufaktur Fürstenberg) is one of the oldest porcelain manufactories in Western Europe, the second in Germany after the manufactory in Höchst, founded in 1747 in the city of Fürstenberg, in Lower Saxony, on the Weser River. Product brand: blue underglaze letter “F”. History[edit | edit code]nThe manufactory was created on January 11, 1747 by the court huntsman Johann Georg von Langen (1699-1776) on behalf of Duke Charles I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1713-1780) [1].nnSince 1750, the manufactory was located in Fürstenberg Castle. The production was supposed to serve the purpose of boosting the economy in Braunschweig and the Weser region, where there were reserves of wood for fuel and suitable clay (possibly kaolin). In 1751, seventeen people worked at the porcelain manufactory, including minters, turners, and moulders. In 1972, production was moved to new buildings next to the castle. The porcelain of the manufactory was called “the white gold of Weser.” In 1888 the company was transformed into a joint stock company (Aktiengesellschaft). During the global economic crisis in 1926, the enterprise had to be closed.
