About Furstenberg
Fürstenberg was established on 11 January 1747 by Johann Georg von Langen for Duke Carl I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Porcelain production began in 1753, when the duke ordered use of a blue F mark. Early figures imitated Meissen. The 1770–1790 period was especially successful, and neoclassical influences appeared around 1775. During the Napoleonic occupation of 1807–1813 it was the Royal Porcelain Manufactory.

Duke Charles I of Braunschweig founded Fürstenberg in 1747, with porcelain production beginning in 1753. Specialists from Höchst helped develop the works. Government administration began in 1859, private ownership resumed in 1876, and a joint-stock company was formed in 1888.
