Germany / Thuringia / Schwarza-Saalbahn:

[1] : Porzellanfabrik E.&A. Müller (1890 until 1927)

This factory was founded by descendants of Johann Nicol Müller from Schönwald (Bavaria), the founder of the company that later became known as the 'Porzellanfabrik Schönwald A.G.'. There is no information available other than that they produced luxury porcelain and had about 200 workers in 1913. They were 1927 taken over by the 'Porzellanfabrik Schönwald A.G.', exactly the company originally founded by their relative. The takeover took place shortly before that company itself merged with the Porzellanfabrik Kahla and the factory in Schwarza-Saalbahn was for a short time used as subsidiary by the Schönwald A.G. company and there are reports that the factory still employed 75 workers in the year 1930 before it finally closed around 1938.
