The original factory, Brothers Kuznetsov in Novo-Kharitonovo, was founded in 1810. In 1892, M.S. Kuznetsov acquired the well-established porcelain factory of Francis Gardner. By the beginning of the 20th century, he had absorbed many small factories and soon became responsible for almost two-thirds of the ceramic and porcelain production in the Russian Empire. They produced items of such high quality that in 1902 the owner was awarded the title of Court Supplier.
