Originally founded in 1793/1794 as Thun'sche Porcellanfabrik and, after many restructurings, finally closed in 2024 after 230 years,[1][2] it was the oldest and largest Czech porcelain manufacturer.
It operated in three locations: Klášterec nad Ohří (formerly Klösterle an der Eger), Sadov-Lesov (formerly Sodau-Lessau) and Nová Role (formerly Neurohlau).
[3] The company in Klášterec nad Ohří was founded in 1794 by Franz Joseph Graf von Thun und Hohenstein [cs] and Johann Nikolaus Weber.
It was taken over by plants in Nová Role and Lesov, whose semi-finished products continued to be decorated, fired and packaged in Klášterec.
In 2009, the plant was purchased by the newly formed company Thun 1794, based in Nová Role.
