Description
Production unites two factories. The first one was founded in 1841
(1843) in Dreylingsbush (Dreylini) near Riga by S.T. Kuznetsov. In 1864
it was handed down to M.S. Kuznetsov, and then to N.M. Kuznetsov. During
the period between 1915 and 1920 it did not work in connection with the
war. It was opened in 1920. In 1940 it is nationalized and renamed as
the Riga Ceramic Factory. It did not work during the years of World War
II. Production was restarted in 1946 and renamed into the Riga Porcelain
and Faience factory. The second factory was founded in 1886 in
Milgrabene by Y.K. Essen. Since 1921 it became the branch of N.M.
Kuznetsov's factory. In 1940 it was nationalized. In 1963 two
productions were united, and in 1968 it was called Riga Porcelain
factory.
