MOSCOW, 1720. The potter Eggebrecht, who had undertaken a manufactory of delft at Dresden, by direction of Böttcher, had, after that was discontinued, left to go to Moscow, and, being acquainted with some of the processes for making porcelain, commenced manufacturing it at Moscow. [Illustration: FIG. 191.--STATUETTE. _Mark, G in blue._ Height 8 in.] [Illustration: FIG. 192.--CUP AND SAUCER. _With view of Moscow. Mark, A. Popoffe's initials._] A porcelain manufactory was established at TWER, by an Englishman named Gardner, in 1787, and another by A. Popoff. KORZEC, in Volhynia. About 1803, Mérault, a chemist of the Sèvres manufactory, went to direct the _fabrique_ at Korzec, taking with him a laboratory assistant named Pétion. After carrying it on for a few years, Mérault abandoned the direction, and returned to France. [Illustration: FIG. 193.--_Pâte dure CUP AND SAUCER.

A small factory existed here at which the porcelain clay found in the neighbourhood was used. [Illustration: FIG. 194.--MILK JUG. _Mark, the name of the town._] SWEDEN MARIEBERG. This manufactory produced porcelain (_soft paste_), as well as fayence. In quality as well as in decoration the porcelain is like that of Mennecy-Villeroy in France. The industry was established by Ehrenreich, under the patronage of Count Scheffer, Councillor of State, in 1750, and altogether ceased about 1780.

This manufactory was commenced by an apothecary of the name of Müller, in 1772, and Baron von Lang, from the Fürstenberg manufactory, is said to have been instrumental in forming it. The capital was raised in shares, but the factory not being successful, the Government interfered, and it became a royal establishment in 1775, and has remained so ever since.

A factory was established here about 1695 for the production of porcelain, at which time M. Morin was proprietor, and M. Chicanneau director of the works. [Illustration: FIG. 198.--JUG.] According to letters patent of 1702, granted to the heirs of Chicanneau, his widow, Barbe Courdray, and her children, were interested in the works; their father had made many experiments and attempts to discover the secret of true porcelain, and from the year 1696 had produced some nearly equal to the porcelain of China. His children, to whom he imparted the secret, successfully continued the fabrication, and were permitted to manufacture porcelain at St. Cloud, or in any other part or parts of the kingdom, except Rouen and its faubourgs. In 1712 a renewal of the patent took place for ten years, and in the meantime the widow Barbe Courdray married a M. Trou.
