西元1906由Eduard Haberländer於Windischeschenbach籌備，但是一直到1913年他的計畫才開始被落實。1916年首批生產的範圍僅限於一般簡單較便宜的產品。生產能力在當時仍然很有限。

於1929年期間, 工廠被位於Schwarzenbach (Saxony-Anhalt) 的Porzellanfabrik Oscar Schaller & Co. Nachfolger接管。在當時，這個公司隸屬於位在Röslau (上弗蘭肯行政區，巴伐利亞州）的Gebrüder Winterling O.H.G.。新的生產概念也在這個時期被導入，Eschenbach商標下所生產的產品也因此從此被改變，這個品牌也因此出現新的變化與契機。於1935年，Eschenbach的地位終於被建立，從此展開正面的經濟效應。但可惜的是Eschenbach品牌不敵無情的戰火，在第二次世界大戰中，再次被烙上傷痕! 最遺憾的是，在戰爭中驅逐美軍期間，幾乎所有的Eschenbach瓷器設計，小冊子，傳單，以及所有的公司文件都遭到遺失。也因此只有極少數於1912年至1945年期間所生產的Eschenbach瓷器仍被幸運得被保存下來! 二戰結束後的第一個十年，民生物資需求大量倍增，在現代化量產工業快速擴張下，精緻工業很自然得被淘汰了，Eschenbach品牌也因此曾一度幾乎消失。

於西元1950年，Eschenbach的結構再一次出現巨大的改變。具法人地位的“Winterling公司“ 決定出釋股份，從此主要股東都隸屬於”Winterling“家族成員。所有子公司都重新被命名為'Gebrüder Winterling A.G，大多數沿用到當時的商標也必須被改變。從此Winterling (前Eschenbach) 不再生產家用瓷器，進而開始專注於生產酒店用瓷。於1977年左右，聘用工人人數達約700名。

於2000年11月Winterling A.G. 破產，工廠和商標被位於Triptis (Thuringia圖林根州) 的Triptis Porzellan G.m.b.H. & Co. K.G.接管，並重新以Eschenbach Porzellan為商標，生產高品質家庭及酒店用瓷。但是很遺憾的是，Triptis公司似乎只對Windischeschenbach的商標有興趣，對於生產動力缺缺，並於2003年12月關閉了工廠! 但是一個公司的生存並不能單單只依靠擁有商標，所以很快的Triptis公司便面臨大規模的財政問題，並於2004年10月7日破產了。

於2005年6月Triptis公司重新被建立，命名為Neue Porzellanfabrik Triptis G.m.b.H，Eschenbach這個品牌以及其業務終於再一次得以被延續，直到今日。

The founder of the factory and councilor to the board of commerce Eduard Jaberländer had been planning such a facility in Windischeschenbach since 1906 but it took until 1913 before he could finally realize his plans. First production started in 1916 and was restricted to staple commodities, the product range was cheap and simple and production capacity was still very low.

During 1929 the factory was taken over by Porzellanfabrik Oscar Schaller & Co. Nachfolger located in Schwarzenbach (Saxony-Anhalt), which at that point was a branch of the Gebrüder Winterling O.H.G. in Röslau (Upper Franconia, Bavaria). Based on a new concept, products under the 'Eschenbach' mark were changed. Up until 1935, the status of quality porcelain had been established, resulting in a strong economic upturn. But World War II left scars even in Windischeschenbach. The reason that only a small range of china from the 1913 to 1945 period still exists is that all china design ranges as well as all brochures and leaflets and nearly all company documents and correspondence were lost during the eviction by American soldiers. For the first ten years after World War II, the factory went through an extensive expansion and modernization process with a later total of five tunnel kilns without a loss of production capacity.

In 1950, the 'Winterling' company had corporation status and gave out shares, the main shareholders being the 'Winterling' family members. All daughter companies were re-named to 'Gebrüder Winterling A.G.' and most marks used up until then were changed. Next to normal household products, the factory started to specialize on hotel porcelain and around 1977 employed approximately 700 workers.

After the bankruptcy of the 'Winterling A.G. in November 2000 the factory and mark were taken over by the Triptis Porzellan G.m.b.H. & Co. K.G. located in Triptis (Thuringia). The factory produced high quality household and hotel porcelain under the trademark 'Eschenbach Porzellan'. The Triptis management seemed only to be interested in the trademarks related to the Windischeschenbach facility and closed the factory in December 2003. But a company can not survive alone with a bunch of trademarks and soon it was obvious that the Triptis management had bitten off more than they could chew. Confronted with large scaled financial problems, Triptis themselves went insolvent on October 7th 2004 and had to file for bankruptcy a month later. In June 2005 the Triptis company was refounded as 'Neue Porzellanfabrik Triptis G.m.b.H.' and continued business.

Eschenbach 以及 Winterling不同時期所使用的商標:

Period: 1720 -
Region: Germany

於1708年, Meissen 瓷器由Ehrenfried Walther於德國Tschirnhaus創立. 自1708年起, Meissen也被定義為是一種特定類型的瓷器. 它是第一個成功在歐洲被生產的真正瓷器。

但是創辦人很遺憾於創辦同年10月英年早逝，於是由他的好友Johann Friedrich Böttger(約翰·弗里德里·希伯特格爾) 繼續他的工作，並把瓷器這個產物帶到市場中。

由於當時歐洲人對於瓷器這種物質相當好奇，Meissen也因此吸引了許多藝術家及工匠為其貢獻才華。所以Meissen瓷器正式於1710年開始在德國Dresden附近的城鎮Meissen生產。直至今日，公司Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen GmbH以及其商業業務仍然存在.

其招牌標誌“交叉的劍“，是在1720年推出，目的用以保證Meissen所生產的瓷器。交叉的劍這個標誌更是世界上存在最古老的商標之一!

直到1756年, Meissen主宰了歐洲瓷器的風格, 並領導所有歐洲人對於歐洲瓷器的品味!

Meissen porcelain is a type of porcelain that was developed from 1708 by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus. It was the first successfully produced true porcelain in Europe. After his untimely death that October, Johann Friedrich Böttger, continued his work and brought porcelain to the market. The production of porcelain at Meissen, near Dresden, started in 1710 and attracted artists and artisans to establish one of the most famous porcelain manufacturers, still in business today as Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen GmbH. Its signature logo, the crossed swords, was introduced in 1720 to protect its production; the mark of the crossed swords is one of the oldest trademarks in existence. It dominated the style of European porcelain until 1756.

由Thomas Clark (湯馬士·克拉克)於1894年在英國創立。

於1917年，“& Sons“ 也正式添加於商標中。於1970年, 並將公司改名為Royal Albert Limited (皇家阿爾伯特有限公司)。
Royal Albert最出名的是其高品質的餐具。此品牌所出產的知名圖案，如“ Old English Roses”，“ American Beauty” 以及“ Old Country Roses”。此品牌直至今天為止仍在持續於英國生產。(部分作品實品照, 請見我的Royal Albert私藏 )

Fürstenberg 瓷器工程於西元1747年起源於德國. 目前仍然處於持續生產狀態. Fürstenberg 除了餐具和人物瓷器外，其生產項目中最有名的是花瓶。 (部分作品實品照, 請見我的Fürstenberg私藏 )

從1753年直到今天， “F” 字母一直是此品牌的商標. 於1900年起, 不定期於商標中會添加一頂王冠。自1918年起, 此添加的王冠也正式成為此品牌的永久性標記.

據了解，從1753年以來，直到今日，此品牌的架構從來都沒有改變。

Fürstenberg Porcelain Works was started in Furstenberg, Germany, in 1747 and is still working. Besides table wares and figural porcelain, the Fürstenberg factory is maybe most well known for the production of vases.
The "F" monogram has always been the factory mark Introduced in 1753 it never really changed until today.  From 1900 sometimes a crown was added to the mark. This became permanent as from 1918. It was introduced in 1753 and never really changed until today.

Porcelain was first made in China, in the 9th century AD during the Tang Dynasty (618 to 906 AD). Although some experts believe the first true porcelain was made in the province of Zhejiang during the Eastern Han period (100 to 200 AD). Chinese experts emphasize the presence of a significant proportion of porcelain-building minerals (china clay, porcelain stone or a combination of both) as an important factor in defining porcelain.

China exported porcelain (especially blue and white) to Europe in ever increasing quantity from the 16th century, mainly through the English and Dutch East India Companies. By 1700 there was a vast trade in porcelain. Especially the porcelain from the Ming DYnasty (1368-1644) was very expensive, so the Europeans tried hard to discover the secret of porcelain manufacture. After a number of false starts, such as the so-called Medici porcelain, the European search ended in 1708 with the discovery by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus and Johann Friedrich BÃttger of a combination of ingredients, including Colditz clay (a type of kaolin), calcined alabaster and quartz, that proved to be suitable for making a hard, white, translucent porcelain, first produced at Meissen.

In English china became a commonly used synonym for the Franco-Italian term porcelain. Porcelain was named after its resemblance to the white, shiny cowry, called in old Italian porcella (little pig), because the curved shape of its upper surface resembles the curve of a pig’s back. Properties associated with porcelain include low permeability and elasticity; high strength, hardness, glassiness, durability, whiteness, translucence, resonance, brittleness; high resistance to thermal shock.

Rosenthal

Period: 1891 -
Region: Germany

於西元1891年Philipp Rosenthal (菲利普 · 羅森塔爾) 於Asch, Bohemia 建立一家瓷器工廠，取名為Philipp Rosenthal & CO。

於1897到1936年間，創辦人飛利浦陸續收購於Selb (塞爾布), Marktredwitz, Kronach (克羅納赫), Waldenburg (登堡), Waldershof 以及Sophienthal 的部分工廠。

"Empire" (帝王系列), 是此品牌第一個知名的完整系列。 (部分作品實品照, 請見我的Rosenthal私藏 )

於1916年, Philipp Rosenthal 並以他的愛妻Maria為名，創造了Rosenthal Maria系列. 此系列直至今日，更成為了此品牌最成功的代表作! (部分作品實品照, 請見我的Rosenthal私藏 )

很遺憾的是，二戰結束後，因應大量民生用具需求，精緻手工文化需求不再，迫使工廠現代化大量生產，也因此Rosenthal曾一度消失!

令人慶幸的是，飛利浦的兒子為父親重新建立Rosenthal品牌。並網羅當代最優秀的藝術家，如Hans Theo Baumann, Raymond Loewy and Raymond Peynet 貢獻設計才華。也因此讓品牌Rosenthal得以被延續，並成為今日瓷器收藏加爭相收集的品牌。

如果你有在看歐美電影，眼尖的你應該有注意到，此品牌於百多年前起，即成為歐美名門貴婦於款待貴賓或是重要節日必用的珍貴瓷器。

In 1891 Philipp Rosenthal establishes a porcelain factory in Asch, Bohemia
The Porzellanfabrik Philipp Rosenthal & Co acquired factories in Selb, Marktredwitz, Kronach, Waldenburg, Waldershof and Sophienthal from 1897 to 1936.
 
The "Empire" shape is one of the first complete service-sets. In 1916 its most successful shape "Maria", named after his wife is introduced. Popular patterns were "Maria White" and "Moss Rose".

After World War II the factories were modernised and lost markets. Factories were re-established by Rosenthal's son, Phillip. Some of the best artists of those days were attracted to the company like Hans Theo Baumann, Raymond Loewy and Raymond Peynet.
