Philipp Rosenthal Porcelain: A Legacy of Innovation and Care
Discover the remarkable journey of Philipp Rosenthal, who transformed the porcelain industry with his vision and dedication. Starting as a dishwasher in America at just seventeen, he returned to Germany in 1879 with a passion for porcelain and laid the foundations of his empire in the beautiful Erkersreuth Castle in Selb. His entrepreneurial spirit blossomed alongside his creation of the iconic "little resting place for burning cigars" ashtray.

In 1891, Philipp took a bold step by establishing his own porcelain factory, which quickly gained acclaim for its technical advancements and modern designs. Known for his motto, “I have no use for anyone who cannot look beyond the garden fence,” Rosenthal constantly sought innovation, pushing the boundaries of traditional porcelain artistry.

By 1904, on his 25th anniversary, the company had grown to employ 1,200 people, all of whom enjoyed the welfare initiatives Rosenthal championed. Ahead of his time, he provided fully paid holidays, decent housing, and support for nurseries and allotment gardens, ensuring his workers were taken care of—an act of kindness that set a new standard in the industry.

The establishment of Rosenthal's own art department in 1910 underscored the brand's prestigious status, allowing for exquisite porcelain figures that were previously only produced by royal factories. Today, owning a piece of Rosenthal porcelain means cherishing a rich heritage of craftsmanship, innovation, and a commitment to the well-being of the artisans behind each creation. Embrace a piece of history with your own Rosenthal treasures.

Maria Porcelain Dinnerware
The enchanting legacy of the "Maria" dinnerware, a stunning porcelain collection inspired by a beautiful love story. Created in 1916 by Philipp Rosenthal in honor of his wife, Maria, this exquisite service quickly became a bestseller, with over 5 million cups and 15 million plates sold over the past 25 years, making it one of the top-selling dinnerware designs ever.

With a rich heritage dating back to the company's founding, Philipp Rosenthal's dedication to craftsmanship and quality led to the establishment of a renowned brand respected worldwide. By 1929, Rosenthal AG flourished with 7,000 skilled artisans creating intricately designed porcelain, transforming ordinary dining experiences into elegant affairs.

However, the company's journey was not without challenges. Following the rise of the "Third Reich," Philipp Rosenthal faced significant adversity due to his Jewish ancestry, leaving the company he built in 1934. Despite his passing in 1937, the legacy continued through his son, Philip Rosenthal, who played a pivotal role in revitalizing the brand. From advertising manager to CEO between 1958 and 1981, he led the company into a new era, focusing on innovative designs and beautifully curated product showcases.
