Things from here: Porcelain from Upper Franconia.
In the middle of the 19th century, kaolin deposits were developed in numerous regions of Germany (Northern Bavaria, Upper Franconia, Upper Palatinate, Lower Silesia, Saxony, Thuringia). Alongside feldspar and quartz, kaolin is the basis for porcelain. The extraction of the necessary resources led to the founding of numerous porcelain factories in the respective regions. Küps in Upper Franconia is a good example of this: Around 1900, there were more porcelain factories in the market town near Kronach than in the whole of Germany today. Of the many well-known manufacturers such as Albert Rosenlöcher, Wenck & Zitzmann, Ohnemüller & Ulrich, Julius Edelstein and Wilhelm Rittirsch, only one remains today: The Lindner* porcelain manufactory continues the town's long tradition of ceramic processing.
The reason for the drastic decline in domestic porcelain is the crisis in German industry in the 1970s, which was triggered by cheap imports from the Far East and the simultaneous rise in wages in West Germany. Today, the German porcelain industry employs just under 6,000 people, but even with this greatly reduced workforce, it is still a global player and continues to supply the world with the highest quality porcelain. So it is rare, this "white gold" from Germany, but it has not disappeared. We have rummaged through the extensive range of the last porcelain manufactory in Küps and would like to offer you a selection of beautifully designed everyday helpers that dispense with the traditional colorful decor and bring out the simple elegance of the ceramic material.
All of the following products are made in Küps, Franconia, by the Lindner porcelain manufactory from glazed hard porcelain, which is completely tasteless, odorless and practically inert - unlike most metals, it does not react chemically with its surroundings.

Lindner: Family-run porcelain manufactory in Küps.
Lindner Porzellanfabrik KG in Küps, Upper Franconia, was founded in 1932 by Ernst Lindner, who had previously worked as an assistant manager at the once important Edelstein porcelain factory. Over the course of the company's almost 100-year history, the range has been continuously expanded - and has since been exported to as many as 82 countries. Over time, the initial small items such as brooches and pendants were joined by classic gift items and cityscapes as well as services in the Thuringian and Saxon styles. Under the management of the current owner Werner Gossel, who took over the business on September 1, 1990, the range was also expanded to include a bathroom and kitchen line, so that the Lindner porcelain manufactory now has a considerable stock of more than 30,000 shapes and countless decorative patterns.
The company, which has 15 employees, continues the town's almost 200-year-old tradition of porcelain production and is considered "one of the last bastions of white gold in Bavaria" (Fränkischer Tag, March 16, 2022). The market town of Küps is part of the Bavarian Porcelain Route.
