The factory used technologies developed by the scientist D.I. Vinogradov. They allowed manufactured products to come close in quality to the famous Chinese porcelain. On the basis of local minerals, special compositions of porcelain mass, glazes, paints, and gold powder were used to decorate manufactured products.
Vinogradov independently designed furnaces, determined optimal firing conditions, and developed certain molding methods. The first samples that met the criteria for whiteness and transparency of a crock with glaze not lagging behind the mass were obtained in 1747.
In 1925, over 280 items were presented at the international exhibition in Paris from the LFZ. The works of Adamovich, Chekhonin, Danko, Schekotikhina, Kobyletskaya, Suetin were shown. As a result of the exhibition, the plant received a large gold medal.
