Goodbye summer – it's beginning to look like Christmas with Hutschenreuther and Rosenthal
It happens faster than you think: After the summer holidays, chocolate Santas and gingerbread quickly begin to line supermarket shelves. Autumn sets in, the days grow shorter – and before you know it, Christmas is just around the corner.
Rosenthal and Hutschenreuther are also welcoming the festive season, unveiling elegant gift ideas and wintery Christmas decorations for the perfect holiday table.
Collectors rejoice: the new Hutschenreuther “Christmas Fun” edition
This year’s collectible edition features delightful designs by Czech illustrator Renáta Fucíková, centred around the theme “Christmas Fun.” The cheerful motifs take us back to childhood, depicting families and children playing board and card games, building snowmen and igloos. To complement the seasonal mood, Hutschenreuther introduces porcelain ornaments adorned with the new designs – available in the shapes of a bell, bauble, pine cone and stocking. These intricately detailed ornaments are released in limited editions. The collection also includes limited-edition pieces such as a porcelain Christmas light, cappuccino and espresso cups, a breakfast plate, as well as additional porcelain bells and ornaments in various shapes and miniature formats.
Christmas Atelier Hutschenreuther brings “Alle Jahre wieder” to life on porcelain
In 2016, the Hutschenreuther Christmas Atelier launched its popular collectible series “Christmas Carols.” This year, the cherished German carol “Alle Jahre wieder” (Every Year Again) is introduced as a new motif on porcelain. The delicate design features not only the musical notes of the song, but also festive elements such as mistletoe, the Star of Bethlehem, gifts, ribbons, and pinecones – all in a joyful palette of green, blue, yellow, and red – creating a warm and festive atmosphere.
Festive elegance graces the table with TAC Glitch by Rosenthal
In this design, featuring finely drawn gold and green decorative elements, nothing is quite as it seems. The patterns appear slightly shifted and off-centre – deliberately so. And yet, the retro-inspired aesthetic speaks a language of timeless elegance and refined beauty. The collection playfully reinterprets traditional dinnerware decoration: lines, stripes, borders, and Art Deco details seem to tumble playfully over the edge of the plate. This extraordinary décor once again spotlights Rosenthal’s Bauhaus classic – the TAC service by Walter Gropius – and brings a sense of festive sophistication to every Christmas table.
The Hutschenreuther Christmas ball celebrates its 40th anniversary
Happy Birthday, Hutschenreuther Christmas Ball! This beloved collector’s item marks its 40th anniversary this year. To celebrate the occasion, the renowned heritage brand presents a limited-edition anniversary set – just 1,500 sets available worldwide. Each set includes twelve miniature Christmas balls showcasing the most beautiful designs from the past twelve years, bringing nostalgic charm to the Christmas tree. Four of the motifs – “Christmas Mail,” “Children’s Carol Singing,” “Christmas Dinner,” and “Tea Time” – were designed by artist Ole Winther and imaginatively depict festive stories from the Christmas season. Eight further designs by Czech illustrator Renáta Fucíková – including “Christmas Market,” “Christmas Bakery,” “Christmas Sparkle,” and “Christmas Fun” – feature lovingly hand-painted porcelain scenes filled with festive warmth. The colourful Christmas balls, each adorned with a red ribbon, are beautifully presented in a book-shaped collector’s box – a perfect gift for the holiday season.
Rosenthal’s celestial collection brings joy to the art of giving
Collectors and gift recipients alike cherish Rosenthal’s angels, crafted from the finest biscuit porcelain – not only during the festive season, but throughout the year. This year, the heavenly host welcomes three enchanting new additions: one angel bearing a gift, one with a coffee cup, and one in peaceful meditation. These delicate figurines, available in three sizes (6, 10 and 14 cm), make cherished gifts for a variety of occasions – far beyond the Christmas season.
With 'Christmas Love', Hutschenreuther celebrates the heartfelt joy of the festive season
Hutschenreuther collections have always been shaped by a deep love for Christmas. This year again, the porcelain manufacturer celebrates the festive season with lovingly crafted designs and traditional motifs. Whether for enjoying coffee, a festive dinner, or as a gift, Christmas Love presents a series that captures the Christmas spirit in a design both classic and modern. The patterns, primarily in festive red and beige, feature nostalgic motifs such as gingerbread men, gingerbread houses, nutcrackers, and presents.
Let’s Celebrate! Reds for the festive season at Rosenthal
For some, the biggest celebration of the year is Christmas; for others, it’s Chanukkah, New Year’s Eve, Eid al-Adha, or Chinese New Year. Everyone brings their own idea of festivity – whether quiet, exuberant, or stylishly elegant. Yet all these celebrations share one thing: the joy of giving. For those who want to celebrate the art of giving, Rosenthal has launched a new gift idea: the popular Skum design vase in midi size (14 cm) and in an elegant ruby red. Red is not only the classic colour of Christmas; it also symbolizes love, joy, happiness, wealth, and festivity across many cultures and contexts. Glazed inside and matt outside, this design vase makes an elegant gift for loved ones.

Rosenthal: From Porcelain Pioneer to International Design Company
Founded in 1879, Rosenthal looks back on a long and distinguished history. It is the story of father and son – founder Philipp Rosenthal Senior and the visionary, dynamic Philip Rosenthal Junior. The elder laid the foundation for what was then a modern porcelain manufacturing process, while the younger built Rosenthal into a globally renowned brand. His credo: a passion for everyday luxury and a beating heart for design. For well over 100 years, established designers, artists, and trendy newcomers have created elegant collections of the highest quality for the dining table as well as exclusive objects to beautify living spaces.

Since July 2009, the porcelain manufacturer has been part of the Italian Arcturus Group.
Hutschenreuther: Interpreting Décor with Timeless Elegance Since 1814
A brand rich in history: In 1814, Carl Magnus Hutschenreuther from Thuringia founded Bavaria’s first modern, privately run porcelain manufactory with the goal of producing porcelain of the highest quality. In 1857, his son Lorenz established a second production site in nearby Selb, Bavaria. More than a century later, in 1969, both companies merged to form Hutschenreuther AG, Selb. By this time, the Hutschenreuther name, accompanied by its lion emblem, was already widely known – especially among connoisseurs and lovers of fine porcelain. Hutschenreuther marks the seasons with lovingly designed porcelain collections that bring charm and warmth to every time of year. From spring to winter, the versatile creations offer inspiration for seasonal decoration. Carefully crafted gift ideas and popular collectibles awaken creativity and imagination. Since 2000, Hutschenreuther has been part of the Rosenthal portfolio.
