According to an online article, three firms from Bohemia are known for their majolica production: Wilhelm Schiller and Sons, Julius Dressler, and B. Bloch and Company. Of the three, Wilhelm Schiller and Son was the most productive, making majolica wares in the 1880's. The company's majolica was well modeled and featured pleasing glaze color combinations characteristic of Central Europe. Schiller specialized in decorative majolica, including ornamental vases, centerpieces, ewers, jardinières and pedestals, wall plaques, and wall pockets. However, the factory also produced practical wares including candlesticks, card trays, humidors, lamps, matchboxes, pitchers, and steins. Schiller died in the early 1900s. His son Eduard continued producing majolica wares until World War I started.  The factory closed in 1914.
