In 1893, Matvey Sidorovich Kuznetsov, known as the "king" of Russian porcelain and faience, acquired a corner plot on Myasnitskaya Street. In 1898, construction began on a new building for the office and store of the "Partnership for the Production of Porcelain and Faience Products of M.S. Kuznetsov," designed by architect F.O. Shekhtel. At that time, the "Partnership" became the largest producer of porcelain in Europe and needed a representative building. The facade of the building was adorned with masks of the winged god Mercury, the patron of trade. The first floor housed the store, while the second floor contained office spaces and the management of the "Partnership."

The building's angled corner was not accidental. Previously, there was a two-story house with wings belonging to Prince P.I. Tyufyakin. As a result of urban planning in Moscow in the 1790s, the house lost its corner, and part of the land was taken for the street. Later, the estate changed many owners.

In 1813, the "English Club" was located here, and until 1825, a women's noble boarding school. In 1830, Professor M.P. Pogodin noted a housewarming here. During the four years that the writer and historian owned the house, his guests included such notable figures as A.S. Pushkin, N.V. Gogol, M.S. Shchepkin, and S.T. Aksakov.

In 1893, the house was sold to V.I. Firsanova-Gonetskaya, the future owner of the "Sandunov Baths" and "Petrovsky Passage," Matvey Sidorovich Kuznetsov.

In 1907, the halls of the "House of Porcelain" became the venue for an exhibition of paintings by K.E. Makovsky and the artistic association "Blue Rose."

In 1913, the building was raised by a third floor according to the design of architect F.A. Ganeshin. After the revolution, it housed the All-Russian Syndicate of the Silicate Industry and the "United Club of the Third International."

In the 1930s, the house was increased by another floor. After the war, the building again became a dish store, and today, on the first floor, as during M.S. Kuznetsov's time, porcelain and faience are sold.
