Gorodnitskii Porcelain Factory, (Zhitomir oblast’)
Factory founded in 1807. In 1814 purchased by the Princes Liubomirski. After a major fire in the 1870s, ownership was taken over by the Poltava Agricultural Bank and eventually rented to the merchant Zussman. After the revolution, the factory ceased production and was only reopened in the mid-1920s.
