Over the next few years the factory successfully established its name in the market by not only producing an extensive series of giftware but also manufacturing a high-quality series of Rococo style lace figurines which was usually a domain of the Thuringian companies. Slowly expanding the company acquired the former 'Gebrüder Silbermann' porcelain factory located in the town of Hausen in 1938, serving as the main supplier for unmarked blanks used by the refining company in Kronach. In 1945 Hubertus Kaiser became partner of the company and in order to cope with new requirements after the war and the increased demand, first plans were made to build a new factory which combined the production and decoration sections. To achieve this, the company structure had to be changed so that partners could be won without allowing them too much influence.

After the needed changes, the company now was lead by a board of the three managers Georg Kaiser, Willy Alboth and Hubertus Kaiser. Further investors were quickly found and in 1953, new premises in the nearby town of Staffelstein were acquired in order to build the new factory there. Staffelstein was the perfect location as it was very close to the Hausen factory which would continue production until the new factory was completely finished and on the other hand it was close enough to the town of Kronach and its skilled workers. Three years later, the company was able to completely move to Staffelstein.

Tittar vi på etiketten där det står 22 Ct Gold, så anger man i länken att den användes en tid före 1956.

Used for some time before 1956, elaborate sticker version.

Därför kan vi dra slutsatsen att lockurnan är tillverkad mellan 1951 och 1956 av Porzellanfabrik AL-KA Kunst Alboth & Kaiser K.G. i Kronach, Bayern, Tyskland.
