Rosenthal’s Ivory line was produced specifically for export to the American market beginning in the late 1920s, and pieces marked “Germany” were intended to comply with U.S. import regulations of the period. During the years between World War I and World War II, Rosenthal porcelain was distributed in the United States through the Rosenthal China Corporation of New York, making these pieces an important part of the company’s international history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bristol pattern was produced during what many collectors consider Rosenthal’s golden pre-war era—a period of exceptional craftsmanship that was soon overshadowed by the upheaval of World War II. During the Nazi regime, founder Philipp Rosenthal was forced from the company he had built because of his Jewish ancestry, and control of the business was taken from the Rosenthal family. Following his death in 1937, the company remained under Nazi-influenced management throughout the war years. After the war, Philipp’s son, Philip Rosenthal Jr., returned to Germany and spent several years fighting to reclaim the family enterprise. His efforts were successful in 1950, when he regained control of Rosenthal and launched a remarkable postwar revival that would reestablish the company as one of the world’s most respected names in porcelain and design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hallmark on this set is consistent with Rosenthal’s crown-and-script trademarks used during the early twentieth century and into the 1930s. Collectors often associate the Rosenthal Ivory line with the company’s pre-war production, prized for its fine porcelain body, elegant forms, and enduring craftsmanship. \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthentic vintage Rosenthal Ivory porcelain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePattern: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBristol\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in Germany, circa 1930s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElegant ivory-colored porcelain body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreen laurel leaf border with gold accents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRichly gilded decorative handle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGold-trimmed rim and foot with hobnail accents \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMatching teacup and saucer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRosenthal Ivory Germany backstamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear consistent with nearly a century of careful use.
