Vintage! Excellent Condition! Rosenthal Rosenthal is a leading German luxury porcelain manufacturer, founded in 1879. "Bavaria" in the stamp indicates the place of manufacture at the time (Bavarian region). ・Rose motif ・Rosenthal (script) • Bavaria ・R mark with a red crown. This combination of marks was commonly used from the 1930s to the early 1950s. ・The absence of "Germany" ・It is not "Western Germany," suggesting it is likely from before or shortly after the war. "From the internet" I researched this for the listing. This is what I found, but I cannot determine if it is that old. Items with the same stamp are also listed as 1950s vintage items on overseas auction sites. Size: Diameter approx. 10 cm, Height approx. 5.8 cm Image 10: Gold trim is worn and faded. The gold trim on the rim of the cup is also faded in some areas. Image 11: It is unclear if this is from the manufacturing process, storage, or dirt. There are no chips or cracks, but there are some areas where the rim of the cup feels slightly rough. I don't think it's enough to be uncomfortable for practical use, but I'm mentioning it just in case. It is unclear if it is unused, but it is in near-unused condition with no signs of use. Please consider this as an item that has been stored for many years. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. While the exact age cannot be determined, it is a very lovely vintage item with an elegant design and shape. There is no saucer, only the cup. How about for a solo tea time? If you like it, please consider it! Shipping will be via Mercari delivery. I also have other German tableware from Arzberg, Boda Nova, Villeroy & Boch, as well as Showa retro and vintage items listed. I may be able to offer a discount for combined shipping. Please take a look if you'd like. Thank you for your consideration.
