* Carl-Johann Gottlob Thieme opened a porcelain and antique shop in Dresden in 1864, as well as operating a porcelain painting business.  In 1872 he established a porcelain factory, Sächsische Porzellan-Fabrik Carl Thieme zu Potschappel.  Carl Thieme died in 1888 and the business was taken over by his son-in-law Karl August Kuntsch, who was known for his excellent work in flower embellishments on traditional porcelain objects.  Kuntach died in 1920 and his widow and sons (Carl August and Emil Alfred) continued to run the company for years.
