“…Things improved from 1744, when Johann Friedrich von Thielmann (1705-1782), the Oberrechnungsrat (chief accountant of Electoral Saxony), leased the unprofitable glassworks for four years. 20 During Thielmann's tenancy the Spiegelfabrik cast the trumeau mirror for the vast and extraordinarily ornate mirror of Apollo and the nine muses by the Meissen artist Johann Joachim Kändler, commissioned by Augustus III as a present for his daughter, Maria Josepha of Saxony, the Dauphine of France, with a matching porcelain console table, and delivered to Versailles by Kändler himself in 1750. 21 Thielmann also supplied the mirrors for the Hubertusburg Palace and the Japanese Palace in Dresden Neustadt.…”

This article aims to rescue from oblivion one of the most important German glass factories of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries: the Chursächsische Spiegelfabrik or Mirror Factory of the Electorate of Saxony, founded by the Elector at Friedrichsthal, north of Dresden, in 1709. Using new research results it traces the history of the factory and analyses the factors that led to its heyday from 1787, when, as well as mirrors, it started producing plain and coloured glass objects for the table and interior decoration, such as fruit bowls, candelabra, jugs, and so on, as well as lamps and chandeliers. Its international success culminated with the introduction of semi-opaque white bone glass in 1794, until production ceased in 1815.
