Description
Johann Maresch, born 1821, became partners with Adolf Baehr around 1841.
Baehr and Maresch Siderolith Fabrik was located on the corner of
Teplitzerstraße & Johannesstraße, Aussig an der Elbe. Reinhold Hanke
worked here as an apprentice modeller between 1853 and 1858. Originally
they marked their wares with B & M, but around 1863, they switched
to the famous JM markings. They used an "ironstone" clay mixture: a type
of porcelain that is more durable, having more strength and weight than
fine porcelain. Their production was extensive. Their wares were
shipped far and wide. In 1890, Ferdinand his son took over the family
business and for nine years kept the factory name the same, but
eventually changing it to Ferdinand Maresch. Siderolith, Majolika and
Terracotta Fabrik. He however, did not change the distinctive JM
markings. During the early 1900's the company prospered under his
management, exporting to the rest of Europe and America. The factory was
run by Ferdinand until his death on August 2, 1940. The factory kept
producing its ceramic wares, but hard times were about to come upon
Europe. The factory halted production in 1944 and finally closed in
1948.
