About the Item

“Scalare,” Freshwater Angelfish was the winner of the Grand Prize Paris exhibition 1937. Could a more perfect pair of Angelfish be found? Quite animated both swimming and feeding and so very delicately constructed with their floating "Barbel", whisker like appendages around the mouth used for finding food and communication. It is a finely detailed Rosenthal figure of two Angelfish among green underwater plants. Created by Fritz Heidenreich in 1937 and model number 1637. It has the authentic Rosenthal, Germany stamp on the bottom, “handgemalt” meaning art department and on the bottom front the name of the creator, F Heidenreich (Fritz Heidenreich 1895 - 1966.) Rosenthal was originally founded in 1879 as a family business. The founder, Philipp Rosenthal, eventually moved his porcelain painting to Selb in Bavaria, where he industrialized in the castle Erkersreuth with his painting workshop. In 1897, Philipp Rosenthal founded the company Bauer, Rosenthal & Co., as well as Philipp Rosenthal & Co. AG. In 1908, Rosenthal bought the porcelain manufacturer Thomas in Marktredwitz, and the porcelain company Zeidler & Co. in 1917. The 1930 and early 1940s was a period of great difficulty for the Rosenthal enterprise, but by the 1950s Philip Rosenthal, son of founder, won a pioneering role in the modern product design. By 1960 the Rosenthal Studious was opened in Nuremberg, from which the world's first design chain was built. In 1965 the uniform name Rosenthal Glas & Porzellan AG was elected and shortened to Rosenthal AG in 1969. During the 1970s they collaborated with industrial designers such as Raymond Loewy, Tapio Wirkkala, Elsa Fischer-Treyden, Timo Sarpaneva, Verner Panton, Luigi Colani and Walter Gropius, creating an impressive series of products. In 1997, Rosenthal AG was 90% owned by the British-Irish Waterford Wedgwood Group. Rosenthal was the market leader for high-quality porcelain and glassware in Germany and was the world market leader in conjunction with Waterford Wedgwood. In the year 2000, the company took over the Hutschenreuther brand and Hutschenreuther-Werk B in Selb. On 20 July 2009, a sale was announced to an Italian company, Sambonet Paderno Industrie (Arcturus Group).Founded on 1 August 2009, Rosenthal GmbH is an independent part of Sambonet Paderno Industrie (Arcturus Group).Th e Rosenthal company headquarters remain in Selb. The Rosenthal Archive, a collection of around 15,000 exhibits from 130 years of company history, were purchased by the Oberfranken Foundation on 12 August 2009 and is provided as a permanent loan to the Porzellanikon, the State Museum of Porcelain in Selb. These include nearly all product designs, from the company's foundation to today, as well as originals designed by artists such as Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Wilhelm Wagenfeld and Walter Gropius.
