Luxurious large round porcelain bowl 28 cm - Seltmann Weiden

High-quality porcelain combined with a rich history creates the synonym for Seltmann factory. Founded in 1910, the company "Porzellanfabriken Christian Seltmann" (Seltmann Weiden) evolved into a group of enterprises through the acquisition of "Königlich Privierte Porzellanfabrik Tettau" (Königlich Tettau) along with four specialized porcelain manufacturers and an art department established in 1990 and 1995 as a family business. In five plants, approximately 800 employees produce excellent porcelain for households, hotels, and social catering. Another goal is the production of particularly valuable figurines and gifts.

Thanks to the Königlich Tettau porcelain factory (the oldest porcelain factory in Bavaria), the Seltmann Group has over 200 years of experience in porcelain manufacturing. The renowned naturalist Alexander von Humboldt fought for the establishment of a manufactory. This took place in 1794 under the privilege of the Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm II.

Even longer tradition in porcelain craftsmanship (almost 250 years) can be found at the site of the oldest still-operating porcelain factory in Thuringia, in Rudolstadt / Volkstedt. The “Oldest Volkstedt Porcelain Manufactory” was expanded in 2007 into a “translucent porcelain manufactory,” and four factories with an art department in Volkstedt were merged “under one roof.” Quarzsandwerke Weissenbrunn supplies high-quality raw materials and ready-to-use masses for the ceramic industry and is part of the corporate group.

As one of the few porcelain manufacturers operating worldwide, the Seltmann Group possesses exceptionally broad know-how in production: from high-tech manufacturing in one of Europe's most modern porcelain factories to pure craftsmanship in factories (located in Rudolstadt / Thuringia). In addition to continuously developing specialized fields such as hotel and catering, communal catering, and motivational programs, the Seltmann group primarily targets families in the domestic porcelain industry, who usually value a wide range of products available for purchase later.

The elegant porcelain of the Seltmann group meets the highest international standards in design, functionality, durability, and prestige. These product properties, whose high quality standard can only be maintained in Germany, are very important to the entrepreneurial Seltmann family. Reliability and flexibility are crucial, as well as the development of environmentally friendly production techniques, which are immediately implemented in the manufacturing plants. Production knowledge, passed down from generation to generation in the Upper Palatinate, remains irreplaceable to this day, ensuring jobs with the “Made in Germany” quality mark — here in Germany.
