Volkstedt porcelain manufactury sited in Rudolstadt, Thuringia, Germany, was the earliest porcelain manufactory in Thuringia. It is still in business as Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanmanufaktur, the “Oldest Volkstedt Porcelain Manufactory”. Several late 19th and 20th century factories copied all of the "hayfork" marks.
