Next owners were Sorge and Isidor Streithardt. In 1841 they were joined by Kästner. Fasold family bought Porzellanfabrik Christian Speck in 1848. In 1856 the business was joined by Eichel. The factory was renamed to Porzellanfabrik Fasold & Eichel. In 1898 the Blankenhein factory became a part of Duxer Porzellanmanufaktur A.G. After the WWI in 1918 the factory was taken over by Carstens family. The name was changed into Blankenhainer Porzellanfabrik C.&E. Carstens. Next big change came in 1948 after the WWII.
