The Ćmielów Porcelain Factory (Template:Lang-pl), in Ćmielów, Holy Cross Province, Poland, is the oldest and one of the largest porcelain factories in that country, its products described as "likely the most recognizable Polish porcelain". The firm traces its history to craft manufactories established in Ćmielów in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
History
The firm traces its history to a craft manufactory established in the Polish town of Ćmielów in 1790. Another milestone was the 1804 creation of a larger manufactory by Count Jacek Małachowski. Production of porcelain began in 1838 (previously, local ceramic production had been mainly of simpler varieties such as faience). The manufactory changed owners several times, in 1921 becoming an S.A.-type corporation. In 1924 the firm acquired a smaller works in nearby Chodzież.
In 1946 the firm was nationalized by Poland's communist government. Half a decade later, in 1997, it was reprivatized and in the mid-2010s was split between two owners (Polskie Fabryki Porcelany „Ćmielów” i „Chodzież” SA, and Fabryki Porcelany AS).
In 1946, workers at the factory staged a strike protesting a three-month shortage of flour.
Designs
An Empire design was created in the 1930s by B. Wysocki and J. Steckiewicz, to the order of Polish President Ignacy Mościcki, for Warsaw's Royal Castle. The design is used in official settings throughout the world, including the registrar’s office of the President of the Republic of Poland.
During the 1950s and 1960s, the firm produced figurki ćmielowskie (Ćmielów figurines), which were exemplary in their form and technology.
