RGK Czeckoslovakia –Bernadotte

RGK Czeckoslovakia - Bernadotte
1928 - 1939
This was a present from my friend Gen.

This is what I found about the pottery makers:

"Egerlander Porcellanfabrik, Elbogen, GmbH, Loucky, Czech Republic (Grunlas, Bohemia, Austria)

1907 founded by Benjamin F Hunt & Son of Boston, who had previously had an interest in Benjamin f Hunt & Son in Locket; its name was Egerlander Porcellanfabrik Elbogen, Gmbh.

1908 the owners were Ludwig Engel & Son.

1911 Richard Kampf bought the factory and Richard Dieterle became a partner, the name was Porzellanfabrik Rudolf Kampf GmbH, Grunlas, and the brand RGK. The letters RGK stand for Rudolf Kampf of Grunlas.

1945 The company was nationalized into Slavkovský Porcelán

1953 It was transferred to the company "Bohemia"

1958 It became part of Karlovarský Porcelán independent plant 04.

1992 the company was privatized as Leander 1946.

It is presently known as Leander, Porcelán, Loucky, sro (Ltd.)."
