The 'Königlich-Polnische und Kurfürstlich-Sächsische Porzellan-Manufaktur' (Meissen porcelain manufactory) was founded by decree on June 6, 1710.

Notes on verification

The manufactory's founding and its association with 1710 are well documented across multiple independent sources, including the official Meissen site, museum records, and academic history. However, sources differ on whether the decree date was January 23 or June 6, 1710, with some treating the latter as the production start date rather than the formal founding decree.
