History & Marks:– The porcelain marks used on this demitasse cup & saucer are from the 1915 to 1926 period. The Fraureuth porcelain factory operated from 1866 until its bankruptcy in 1926.

The AG buys the Wallendorfer Porzellanmanufaktur, founded in 1764 (was since the 1st World War shut down). Fraureuth AG has over 1,200 employe
...es.
1923 The new ''worker''s house colony'' (today''s Karl-Liebknecht-Straße) is being completed. In the spring, the new tableware factory, including a three-storey painting building, will be put into operation, as well as three new 76m long tunnel furnaces (then the most modern facility in Germany).
1926 Various circumstances, such as high losses (the tunnel furnaces almost only supply scrap), serious divisions within the corporate management and tax debts lead to ruin. In January 1926, the company reported bankruptcy.
