The original factory, the Kuznetsov Brothers in Novy Kharitonovo, was founded in 1810. In 1892, M.S. Kuznetsov acquired the well-established porcelain factory of Francis Gardner. By the early 20th century, he had absorbed many small factories and soon became responsible for nearly two-thirds of the ceramic and porcelain production in the Russian Empire. They produce items of such high quality that in 1902, the owner was granted the title of court supplier.
