The Rosenthal China Company was founded by Philip Rosenthal Sr. in 1879 in Selb, Germany. Over the decades Rosenthal has become one of the world's finest porcelain dinnerware and crystal manufacturers.
Rosenthal does not imitate or follow a trend that is already under way, but rather is on the forefront of innovative contemporary tabletop collections. Rosenthal has turned this concept into a combination of remarkable craftsmanship and design leadership in the porcelain, glassware and flatware markets, working with the best international designers, architects, artists, craftsmen and celebrities.
Acquired by Sambonet, the Italian company renowned for its flatware, serveware and cookware collections, Rosenthal Sambonet also owns and produces Arzberg, Hutschenreuther, Thomas porcelain, and licenses and produces the Versace tableware collections.
