It was founded in 1908, originally as a school for painting on ceramics and porcelain. The designs were inspired by motifs from Czech and Moravian folk culture, and after the end of the First World War, Slovak folk culture as well. The workshop was also progressive in that it employed women as early as the beginning of the 20th century. They mainly decorated ceramics, but also porcelain and glass, and the products were shipped all over the world, including America and Australia. See less
