porcelain factory

Fine china producer

A porcelain factory is a facility where porcelain—fine, translucent ceramic ware—is manufactured.

These factories produce dishes, figurines, tiles, and decorative objects, historically employing specialized craftsmen for molding, glazing, and firing.

Famous examples include Meissen in Germany and Sèvres in France: The tour of the porcelain factory showed every stage from clay to kiln.
