DescriptionDescription: The Marieberg porcelain factory was established in Stockholm in 1760. Like its competitor Rörstrand, it set out to produce true porcelain, an aim it in fact achieved. The porcelain it manufactured, however, was both expensive and of poor quality, and could therefore never compete with imports from the East Indies and other parts of Europe. Marieberg faience, by contrast, was of a very high quality, able to compare, both technically and artistically, with the best produced on the continent.
