In 1872, in Marktredwitz was established a decorating porcelain studio. In 1897 Porzellanfabrik Jaeger, Thomas & Co, started by Christoph Jaeger, Wilhelm Jaeger and Fritz Thomas, began producing of high-quality porcelain. In 1903, Fritz Thomas left the company starting another business, Porzellanfabrik Thomas & Ens. After Thomas left the company, it changed name to Porzellanfabrik Marktredwitz, Jaeger & Co. In 1904, the factory was awarded a gold medal at The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, informally known as the St. Louis World's Fair.

In 1923, there was a fire in the factory but it didn't stop its development. The company survived the Great Depression and both world wars and continued to produce porcelain till it was sold to Italian company Sebring. Production was finally stopped in 1986.
