The Klasterec nad Ohri Factory

One of the oldest Czech china works was founded here as long ago as in 1794. It has undergone a number of changes in the course of its historical development and it gradually established its renown on the perfect modeling and exceptional artistic working of china services. In the 19th century, some of them represented the best products in the sphere of Bohemian china in general.

The present production of the Klasterec china works
is following up this rich tradition. The main item on
the production program continues to be household china in dinner, coffee, tea and other services. We manufacture seven compact shapes at our works, their names being Natalie, Menuet, Constance, Angelika, Maria, Alexa and Jana and their designers Professor Jaroslav Jezek and academic sculptor Jin Lastovicka. The Natalie and Menuet forms are a successful example of a combination of historical elements and the requirements imposed on modern production. With its relief and festoon edge, the Constance form ranks in the category of skill-demanding shapes. The Angelika, Maria, Alexa and Jana services have plain shapes and their features lie in their simple contours and sensitively chosen proportions. Most of our services are decorated with the use of screen-printing and painting techniques in various combinations and executions. Our decorations are regularly changed in accordance with the need to apply fashion trends to china products. [continue...]
