Bernard Bloch or B. Bloch & Co or Stove Factory, CERAMICS Porcelain POTTERY, Eichwald (Dubi), Bohemia, Austria, Anton Tschinkel and Carl Teichert. Eichwald Porcelain and Stove Factory (Czech Republic) Eichwald, Bohemia, Austria In a deeply forested area what is known today as Dubi in the Czech Republic, a group of miners in the 15th Century began to work the raw materials which would facilitate the growth of the inherent pottery industry of the area. In the 1860's a line of wares called Blue Onion (Zwiebelmuster), attracted the attention of rich industrialist Anton Tschinkel.The full account of the rich history of the company is very interesting. The Bernard Bloch (or B. Bloch & Co or Stove Factory, CERAMICS Porcelain POTTERY, Eichwald/Dubi) was caught up in the turmoil and terror of the second world war with members of the Bloch family (the third owners of the Pottery) being sent to Auschwitz never to return. See www.figurines-sculpture.comreport this adHere is a summary of the timeline:-1500's Miners start to work the local deposits and the first Eichwald wares are produced1864 Founded by Anton Tschinkel. The pottery started by making majolica.1874 Start of the porcelain production.1885 Carl Teichert (Dresden, Meissen - Germany Company) bought the factory and used patterns and molds from the Meissen plant.1895 B. Bloch & Co. - Bernard Bloch bought the factory. Wistritzer Ofen- und Wandplattenfabrik B. Bloch (1889 until 1911)This facility was the second factory of Bernard Bloch who had started off with the Majolika- und Fayence-Fabrik Hohenstein in nearby Hohenstein twenty years earlier.Krautzberger, Mayer & Purkert G.m.b.H. (1911 until 1938)1911 In 1911 Alois Krautzberger together with his two partners Mayer and Purkert, which mainly acted as financial backers, purchased the former oven factory of the Eichwalder Porzellan-, Ofen- und Wandplattenfabriken B. Bloch from Eichwald which at that time was restructuring itself following the death of its founder Bernard Bloch two years earlier.1913 As the factory was fully operational at that time only minor modifications were required to enable porcelain production, in fact the switch went so well that the factory already had around 80 workers in 1913. 1922 In 1922 the engineer Karl Langer (*1882, †1962) joined as minor partner and became technical director of the factory before advancing to full partner in 1930, the same year the employee count hit the number of 220.The company itself became relatively well known for its tableware decorated in various over- and underglaze styles, but the main business was covered by hotel- and restaurantware as well as kitchenware like canister sets and storage shelve drawers. Next to local decorations, the company from 1913 onwards also very successfully created items using the famous "Zwiebelmuster" (Blue Onion) or "Strohblume" (Strawflower) decoration styles.1920 the company changed its name to Eichwald Porcelain and Stove Factory Bloch & Co.1937 In mid-1937 the number of workers was still stable at 220, there had been no dramatic changes during the last years.

Still, large parts of the factory were destroyed during the war.
