For generations, this has been the porcelain for weddings and other festivities due to its style and timelessness. The charming elegance of this form originates mainly from the neo-classical shape and the balance of classical and romantic elements, like the delicate, finely curved pomegranate relief.
A silver tea set from 1815 was the inspiration for Maria. The company founder, privy councillor, Philip Rosenthal senior, acquired the tea set on a journey to England. It was named after Philip Rosenthals wife Maria.
Showing Biedermeier style details, a pomegranate relief frames the neo-classical, polygonal shape of the set. Right angled contoured handles and pronounced angularly shapes with their light and shadow play defines the sets distinctive character.
