Fritz Heckert

Fritz Heckert was a high quality glass finishing house in Petersdorf close to Josephinehutte. They decorated blanks from both Harrach and Jossephinenhutte.

Until 1889, Heckert specialized in replicas of the enameled glass of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, decorated in the “old German” style. In 1889, he acquired his own glass factory and began producing iridescent glass decorated in the Art Nouveau style.

Fritz died in 1890 and his widow, Zurillie, and his son-in-law, Otto Thamm, inherited the signature. At that time the company employed about 200 workers in the glass and refinery factories.
