| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
The factory in Marieberg was established around 1758 by Johan Ludvig Eberhard Ehrenreich (1723-1803), Court dentist to Frederick I, who secured its direction under the privilege of the King. Initially, the factory, on the Marieberg estate on the island of Kungsholmen, Stockholm, built in 1760, manufactured fine tin-glazed earthenwares (faience), but in 1766 until his departure in 1769, the Frenchman Pierre Berthevin, who trained at the porcelain factory of Mennecy-Villeroy, introduced a soft-paste porcelain. The factory specialised in these spirally fluted pot à jus or custard cups, the earliest similar to those made at Mennecy. Between 1770 and 1783, Berthevin was succeeded by Henrik Sten from the rival Rorstrand factory, in Stockholm, and a chalky body was produced. From 1777 to 1778 a hard paste body was achieved.
