Lichte Porzellan

The Lichte Porcelain (GmbH) () was founded 1822 in Lichte, Thuringian Highlands.

History

On the northern hillside of the Thuringian Highland, close to the Rennsteig, where the early settlements of the Thuringian porcelain manufacturing took its rise, Johann Heinrich Leder established in 1822 a new porcelain manufacturer, today’s Lichte Porcelain (GmbH).

Early work

Since its founding, Lichte Porcelain has been in close competition with Wallendorf porcelain manufacture, which was established in 1764.
