In 1900, Mr. Korsukewiez founded the ceramic manufacture "Steingutfabrik Elsterwerda GmbH" in the small German industrial town of Elsterwerda, in Prussia, at the confluent of rivers  Pulsnitz and Black Elster. It employed up to 200 people in the twenties and thirties. In the 1990's, it was called "Elsterwerda-Keramik GmbH" and produced tableware, employing about 40 people. It went bankrupt  in 2003.

Elsterwerda produced some ceramic clocks in the art deco period : Their decor is typical of  the mid-thirties and use the airbrushed stencil technique A decor number is generally stamped under the clock, as a 3 or 4 digits number preceded with "U."  Their model number, ranging from 650 to 1125, is embossed under the clock. The "Eslterwerda" stamp on the right is found under our clocks model #654.
