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.
