HISTORY/MARKS: The Hutschenreuther porcelain story began when Karl Magnus Hutschenreuther, 1793-1845, discovered kaolin in northeastern Bavaria in 1814 where he established his company. His son Lorenz managed the Hohenberg porcelain factory from 1845-1857. He founded his own Hutschenreuther Porcelain Company in Selb in 1856 which became highly successful and 113 years later absorbed his father’s company. All of the Hutschenreuther Companies were trend setters of high quality porcelain. Hutschenreuther became known for the love of detail, distinctive brilliance of color, and lustrous beauty shown through the decorating of the fine porcelain pieces. There are two different Hutschenreuther marks on this set. The mark on the salad plates is that of the Hutschenreuther Company of Selb, Bavaria Germany. The Hutschenreuther webpage (porzellansammlung) cites this mark as used 1939-1964. All 7 plates also carry the Pasco over glaze importer red or green mark. Paul A. Straub was a New York importer for L. Hutschenreuther products from 1915-1970. The chop plate has the Hutschenreuther mark that was used from 1965-1967. We place this set as circa mid 1960’s.
SHIPPING: Due to the size and weight of this set and for the safety of the set, this must be packed in 2 boxes. The chop plate needs to be shipped in a 4x16x16 box which will weigh approximately 69 ounces. The 6 salad plates are much heavier and will be shipped in an 8x12x12 box which will weigh approximately 80 ounces. eBay does not have a method to indicate this in their shipping section so we have added the 2 weights together in 1 box. This does not affect domestic buyers as we provide free Priority mail shipping within the USA. However, this will certainly affect International buyers as that is calculated through the eBay's Global Shipping Program.
