Volkstedt porcelain

The Volkstedt porcelain factory occupies an 18th-century building in Thuringia, where artisans create ceramic household items and ornamental pieces through traditional methods.

Georg Heinrich Macheleid established the manufacturing facility in 1762 after discovering the correct porcelain composition known as Arcanum at the Glücksthal glassworks.

The factory produces detailed figurines and decorative items, including the Affenkapelle series featuring monkeys playing musical instruments and seasonal porcelain collections.

Visitors can observe the complete manufacturing process in the transparent production facility, which demonstrates each step of porcelain creation from raw materials to finished pieces.

Every flower petal, ornament, and figure detail emerges from skilled craftspeople who shape, paint, and finish each piece entirely by hand using techniques preserved since 1762.
