Tashkent Porcelain Factory was established in 1953 by order of Soviet authorities. It is considered to be the first porcelain factory in Central Asia. Tashkent Porcelain Factory was founded in order to supply with porcelain five Central Asian Soviet republics. They produced teapots, bowls, plates, jugs and souvenirs in the Uzbek national style.

Clay mined in Uzbekistan contains iron oxide, what causes dark spots on the porcelain. That's why raw materials were imported from Russia and Ukraine. In the beginning in Tashkent were used forms shared by other Soviet porcelain producers. After some years the enterprise gained its own artists who created new porcelain models.

In early 1980s Tashkent chemists developed their version of bone china. In their version of the porcelain woody cotton stalks were used.

During the years of Soviet perestroika, the enterprise was going through hard times. In 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Tashkent plant was privatized. The enterprise was soon closed as unprofitable.

In 2018 president of Uzbekistan decided to revive the factory. Unused facilities were reconstructed, additional buildings were built, and new Chinese equipment was installed.
