The Wunsiedel Manufactory (Bavaria Germany) The ceramic tradition of Wunsiedel, in the heart of the Bavarian district, dates back to the late 19th century with the founding of the famous manufactory Retsch & Co. (represented by the shield with the crowned “R”). During the 20th century, the company stood out for the excellent quality of hard porcelain and for its mastery of decorations in gold ribbon and cobalt blue. The green mark on the back (Wunsiedel R Bavaria Germany) identifies the classic production of the second half of the 20th century (around the 60s/70s), a period of maximum expansion and prestige for table services destined for the international market.
