"Thun Karlovarský porcelán aka Thun 1794 (official name Thun 1794 a.s.) was a German and Czech porcelain manufacturer using the porcelain mark "TK". Originally founded in 1793/1794 as Thun'sche Porcellanfabrik and, after many restructurings, finally closed in 2024 after 230 years, it was the oldest and largest Czech porcelain manufacturer. It operated in three locations: Klášterec nad Ohří (formerly Klösterle an der Eger), Sadov-Lesov (formerly Sodau-Lessau) and Nová Role (formerly Neurohlau). The company in Klášterec nad Ohří was founded in 1794 by Franz Joseph Graf von Thun und Hohenstein [Count thun] and Johann Nikolaus Weber. From the beginning, it has focused on the production of tableware. In the seventies of the 20th century, the factory was moved to new premises. The production of porcelain in the Klášterec plant stopped in September 2023. It was taken over by plants in Nová Role and Lesov, whose semi-finished products continued to be decorated, fired and packaged in Klášterec. Porcelain from the Klášterec factory is part of the collections of the Porcelain museum of Klášterec nad Ohří." (Source: Wikipedia)
