Rosenthal

Rosenthal was founded in 1879 in Selb, Bavaria, Germany, by Philipp Rosenthal. The company initially started as a small decorating business.

The marks of Rosenthal porcelain are quite diverse.
Below, I introduce some from my collection.

In 2000: Merged with Hutschenreuther and Wedgwood Group.
