The finest china has always been estimated highly, though all women
would feel happy if they can find china of unusual design for the affordable
prices. And the china of the German Reichenbach Company which is highly demanded
and marketed for over 150 years among the huge number of true connoisseurs and
experts is what we talk about. This is not surprising since most part of the Company
products is produced and decorated manually from the date of Company
establishment and now the manufacture uses over 70 manual procedures and the
strict control system ensures the high quality of the manufactured items.
The history of Reichenbach China
goes back to the history of china of Thuringia,
where in 1830 the Company was founded to add to some more manufactures. The
development of the Thuringia china was
conditioned with the particular economic situation. In the times when manufactures
appeared by the will of authorities in other German countries, the local
production developed and grew thanks to individuals' will and intentions.
Whereas in the first case the reputation and prestige was the key concern,
rather than the production improvement and the Thuringia
enterprises were in need of new fresh ideas.
The competition was too high, however the natural funds favorable for
the china production eased the production significantly, and that is why there
are many legendary China Tableware Companies among the Thuringia
manufacturers. The products of any of these companies are kept in the Hermitage
reminding of the timeless beauty of china to people.
The masters had to seek for new designer ideas and cause to lower prices
to win the heart of customers to have them regular. And Reichenbach Company
does the same, achieving the fame and acknowledgment thanks to experiments with
shape, color and patterns.
The tableware of the Company is cheap only as compared with other more reputed
manufactures, when several generations of masters developed the art of china
production and sophisticated the shapes and prints. The cobalt painting on the baroque
styled base refers to the traditions of the Reichenbach Company and claim high requirements to the handicraft
skills and accuracy during production, and
thus and so, the main part is done manually. Respectively, the cost of Reichenbach
tableware increases and the «Hunting» tea set is considered to be one of the
most expensive sets that many restaurants use for VIP functions and events.
Nevertheless, it is not only restaurants that use the Reichenbach
Company products. Many wealthy families who can afford such tea sets acquire
the works by the Reichenbach Company taking into consideration that some tea
sets are manufactured in 20 to 30 sets per year.
Reviving the meal taking traditions, the designers of the china manufacture
always follow and implements new fashion trends in their works. Thus, in
concert with the classic collection Barock, the Reichenbach Company launches
the contemporary Collection Modern presented as the tableware and candlestick
in the cold Japanese style of minimalism, though there are single-color tea
sets and two-color sets with matching white and blue or white and red in the
collection.
The designers of the Reichenbach Company draw their special and thorough
attention to needs of children, and for their enjoy they created the Kids
Collection with famous cartoon characters. Such tableware items allow to evoke
the taste to good things with the kids from the early childhood, while vivid
patterns help to make the breakfast or lunch far more interesting and playful.
A rare child refuses to eat when the table is served with such a nice-looking
tea set.
The Reichenbach Company also prepares a Christmas Collection that allows
decorating the Christmas tree and the house, including the kitchen table in the
proper New Year style as a miracle holiday. The most splendid china caskets are
roomy enough to keep the Christmas gift to wait for its time, Christmas-tree
decorations with hand-made prints which make the tree incredible, and the bells
are believed to ring by the angels. On the top of it, all the items have the
part of the masters' spirit and love. The cups, plates and candlesticks are
made in the same style as the other decorations, and the house is changed for
the individual place of mystery and holiday.
The designers
of the Reichenbach Company contribute to make the everyday meal the real
holiday and they succeed in most cases.
When making
tableware everyday and contributing with their whole heart to every cup and sauce
and salt shaker, the masters make people happy, and this is appreciated not
only by the German people but the citizens of other countries. On the top of it,
the china of this Company is exhibited in many museums and it is worthy.
