Rosenthal, which was founded around 1880, was known for its fine bone china and beautiful hand-applied decorations. This Gwendoly pattern cup and saucer certainly is both beautiful and high quality china. The colors on the cup and the 5 ¾” saucer include pink, purple, green, yellow, gold, and blue. The floral decoration isn’t just on the outside of the cups and is also all around the inside. The rims of the cup and saucer, as well as the cup handle and the center of the saucer are trimmed in gold. It is elegant. In the 1990s, Rosenthal was bought by Waterford/Wedgwood, and in 2008, it was purchased by an Italian company. There are no chips or cracks, but in a couple of places there are small spots of gold loss, mainly it shows on the told trim on the foot of the cup, but it’s not glaring. It is marked on the bottom: Rosenthal Bavaria Gwendolyn, but it is also marked US Pat. appl. for. I couldn’t find why a US patent would be applied for a piece that is made in Bavaria/Germany,,,a mystery to be solved another time!

This would be an elegant addition to your cup and saucer collection or to add to your dinnerware. Please contact us if you have any questions.
