"In 1904, after an argument broke out at the old Tettauer Porcelain Factory, a new factory was built at the upper end of the village in Tettau. Works there were established by Bernhard Gerold and a number of traders and former workers of the Tettauer factory. Until 1924 cheap bisque (unglazed) items were produced, but by 1925 they turned toward better quality to compete with the North American marketplace. The products of the factory improved from year to year and were supplying mainly to North America. By 1924 the former cooperative was converted into a public limited company and known as the Neue Porzellanfabrik Tettau A.G. From 1925, the son of co-founder Bernhard Gerold, Fritz Gerold, at the age of 21, took over the management of the factory and in 1937, the registered cooperative was converted into a limited partnership of the Neue Porzellanfabrik Tettau, Gerold & Company earning them world-wide recognition. After the Second World War and through the 1950's, Fritz Gerold continuously expanded the factory by selling their products domestically, The EEC area and in the North American Market. In 1960 the name was shortened to Porzellanfabrik Gerold & Company until 1993. It was during the early 1970's that Gerold died at the age of 64 and the company began to have severe problems. His son Günter Gerold took over the management until 1989. In the eighties sales of porcelain figures fell by two-thirds, struggling at this time with imports of cheap products from Asia. Günter Gerold resigned from the company for personal reasons and the operations struggled. In 1993 a few investors together with a bank took over the business renaming it the New Porcelain Company, Ltd. Despite their efforts, in 1997 they were forced into selling the company to Lindner Porzellan located in Kueps, Bavaria, who promptly renamed the company to Porzellanfabrik Gerold Kueps. The facility was remodeled and all the old Gerold molds were destroyed. But alas, the ill-fated company once again failed and was forced to cease operations in 2002."
