About Walbrzych
The Wałbrzych Porcelain Factory continued the Carl Tielsch Altwasser factory after nationalization in 1945. German employees who remained in Wałbrzych worked there during the early Polish production years, when CT Made in Poland marks were used. The factory introduced new processes in the 1960s and was privatized in 1992. Export-market difficulties led to financial trouble in 2011 and bankruptcy in 2012.
Carl Tielsch opened the porcelain factory at Stary Zdrój, formerly Altwasser, in 1845. His son Edmund took over in 1882. It became a joint-stock company and entered the Hutschenreuther concern in 1917, then was nationalized in 1946.
