Thun Karlovarský porcelán
Porcelánka Thun (official name Thun 1794 a.s.), originally founded in 1794 and finally closed in 2024, has been the oldest and largest Czech porcelain manufacturer. It operated in three locations: Nová Role, Klášterec nad Ohří and Concordia-Lesov.[1]
History
[edit]Klášterec nad Ohří
[edit]The company in Klášterec nad Ohří was founded in 1794 by Count František Josef Thun and Johann Nikolaus Weber. From the beginning, it has focused on the production of tableware.[2] In the seventies of the 20th century, the factory was moved to new premises.[1] The production of porcelain in the Klášterec plant stopped in September 2023. It was taken over by plants in Nová Role and Lesov, whose semi-finished products continue to be decorated, fired and packaged in Klášterec.[3] Porcelain from the Klášterec factory is part of the collections of the Porcelain museum of Klášterec nad Ohří.
Concordia-Lesov
[edit]The factory was founded in 1888 by Ernst Máder. After World War II, the company became part of the Karlovy Vary porcelain company. It was purchased by Thun 1794 in 2009.[4]
Nová Role
[edit]The plant was founded in 1921. After World War II, it became part of the Karlovy Vary porcelain company. In 2009, the plant was purchased by the newly formed company Thun 1794, based in Nová Rol.[1]
