A very majestic set of three soup cups from the most famous porcelain manufacturer in Germany, the company "Rosenthal".
The company was founded in 1879 and run as a family business. The company's founder, Philipp Rosenthal, moved his porcelain painting from North Rhine-Westphalia to Selb in Bavaria, where he industrialized his painting workshop in Schloss Erkersreuth. In 1897 Rosenthal founded the company Bauer, Rosenthal & Co. in Kronach, in order to bring it back to the local group on the occasion of the founding of Philipp Rosenthal & Co. AG in 1897. In 1908 Rosenthal bought the Thomas porcelain factory in Marktredwitz and in 1917 the Zeidler & Co. porcelain factory, which later became known as the Bahnhof Selb brand in Selb-Plößberg and is now one of two headquarters of the porcelain icon.
The company has been part of the Italian Sambonet Paderno Industrie group since 2009.
