About the Item

The extraordinary parrot can be identified as a Mealy parrot, the largest of the Amazonas found on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. They are distinuished from the Red-lored parrots by the absence of the red markings on the forehead and their large white eye ring. This classic Rosenthal porcelain has richly colored feathers in green, blue and red. It was a creation of the artist Fritz Heidenreich (1895-1966). His name appears on the top base of the piece as, Fheidenreich. Underneath the base is the stamp bearing the name, Rosenthal Group, Germany, and referring to the piece as from the, Classic Rose Collection. Another mark is impressed into the porcelain on the underside: ARA1670. 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.
