Eichwald Pottery, or B. Bloch Pottery was established by Bernhard Bloch in 1871 in Eichwald, Bohemia (now Dubi, Czech Republic). It became known for its Art Nouveau and Art Deco majolica pottery, figural pieces and smoking sets. It continued to operate under names like Eichwald Porcelain and Stove Factory after World War I until the factory was confiscated by the Nazis during World War II.
