Founded in 1865 the factory started off with 30 workers and mainly produced coffee and tea sets. As the only factory in Eisenberg they later also used a mark similar to the K.P.M. Berlin scepter mark. The version used by Schmeisser however is also very similar to the one used by the Schumann factory from Berlin-Moabit. Sadly enough, there is no further information available.

The initials stand for Schmeisser Porzellan Manufaktur, no date known. A very similar mark was also used by Schumann in Berlin (Alt-Moabit).
