In 1920, Anton founded the company Anton Weidl, Porcelain Manufactory GLORIA together with his brother Ernst in Altrohlau near Carlsbad, since the city was world-famous for its porcelain. All necessary raw materials for the production of porcelain were available there. The Porcelain Manufactory GLORIA became one of the biggest manufactories of the time with its unique products - which were already then sent into the whole world. The sale of GLORIA products in retail stores of spa resorts such as Carlsbad or Franzensbad also considerably increased turn over. 
After WW2 the family found a new home in Bayreuth, GLORIA's current premises. From nothing, only equipped with his expertise for the refinement of porcelain, Anton re-built the factory. Together with a small team of specialists from the old homeland, the craftsmanship became alive again. All the old designs and pattern lost during the war, were developed anew. At that time, Anton laid the basis for a unique collection of porcelain articles and received a great reputation for his products famous to this day.
The company is now in it's 4th generation of family ownership.
