The Carl Teichert factory produced everyday household items. It was established in 1863 by Carl Teichert who died a few years later in 1871. It started as oven tiles producer. In 1880 the manufactory began producing porcelain tableware as well as figurines. It was known for the onion pattern porcelain.

The onion pattern was also produced in the Czech factory located in Eichwald. In 1923 they overtook Ernst Teichert GMBH and two years later also Stockhardt & Schmidt-Eckert. In 1929 porcelain production was stopped. The onion pattern production department bought Lorenz Hutschenreuther AG located in Selb.

The Meissen Oven and Porcelain Manufactory formerly Carl Teichert (Meissner Ofen- und Porzellanfabrik vorm. Carl Teichert) mark is often mistakenly taken for Royal (later State) Porcelain Manufactory Meissen, which used crossed swords as a mark.
