This Hutschenreuther Blue Onion "Frühstücksbrett" translates to "breakfast board" in English and is typically used in Swiss and German households as a small, versatile board for serving breakfast items such as bread, cheese, or pastries.

Unlike a plate, the frühstücksbrett has a flat surface without a rim, making it ideal for slicing bread or serving light meals. In the case of this Hutschenreuther board, the Blue Onion pattern adds a beautiful decorative touch to everyday breakfasts and is both functional and beautifully decorative. 

Perfectly sized for serving bread, cheese, or pastries, this flat board is a charming addition to your morning routine, ideal for slicing or serving with a touch of elegance.

Crafted in the 1950s, the board showcases the timeless Blue Onion or Zwiebelmuster pattern, originally inspired by 18th-century Chinese porcelain designs. With intricate depictions of stylised onions, foliage, and florals in deep cobalt blue, the pattern adds a striking yet refined look to any setting.

Founded in 1814 in Bavaria, Hutschenreuther is celebrated for its dedication to fine porcelain and craftsmanship, bridging traditional European design with quality and durability. The Blue Onion motif remains an iconic feature in their collections, each piece crafted to honour a rich porcelain heritage. This breakfast board invites a piece of that heritage to your table, infusing meals with classic sophistication and enduring style.

Origin & Maker

Hutschenreuther is one of the most renowned names in German porcelain manufacturing, with a history that dates back to 1814. Founded by Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther in Hohenberg, Bavaria, the company was one of the earliest in the region to establish a porcelain factory. Initially, Hutschenreuther focused on creating high-quality porcelain tableware, which quickly gained popularity due to its delicate craftsmanship and refined aesthetic.

The company expanded under the leadership of Lorenz Hutschenreuther, Carolus's son, who established another factory in Selb in 1857. This helped the brand diversify and increase its production capacity, cementing its status as a leader in the porcelain industry. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Hutschenreuther became known for its elegant designs and innovative techniques, including its exquisite figurines and ornate dinnerware sets.

One of Hutschenreuther’s most iconic collections includes floral and botanical patterns, which reflect the company’s dedication to beauty and craftsmanship. The company also played a significant role in advancing porcelain art, often collaborating with famous artists and designers to create unique pieces.
