German white porcelain sauce boat with modern decoration - Tettau

The unique design and attention to the smallest details guarantee the highest quality from Tettau. The "Royal Privileged Porcelain Factory Tettau" has been in existence for over 200 years, making it the oldest porcelain factory in Bavaria. The great Alexander v. Sam Humboldt fought for its establishment in 1794.

Almost 100 years later, more than 200 employees work here, including turners, annealers, firers, colour painters, and other craftsmen in the production halls.

In 1918, the management appointed Max Wunderlich, who after the Second World War shifted production from inexpensive tableware to prestigious coffee and tea sets, which have since been sold worldwide as a true, mostly handmade treasure. However, the company is not satisfied with its achievements and is constantly driven by the desire to better meet today's demands. With the invention of special hard porcelain, which the factory sells under the name Diamant, Königlich Tettau achieved a world novelty in the 2010/2011 season: combining the aesthetics of cream porcelain and soft porcelain with the durability of hard porcelain. Since 1957, the plant has been part of the Seltmann Weiden group.

The relocation of the Royal Privileged Porcelain Factory Tettau

To counteract the ongoing pressure from cheap imports from the Far East, the production, sales, and administration of Königlich priv. Tettau are integrated into the locations of the Seltmann Group in Rudolstadt / Volkstedt and the Erbendorf plant. Through these measures, the management of Seltmann Weiden and Königlich priv. Tettau has credibly ensured the continuation of the production and sale of products from the "Königlich privilegierte Porzellan fabrik Tettau."

Founded in 1910, the company "Porzellanfabriken Christian Seltmann" has transformed into a group of enterprises, still managed as a family business, through the acquisition of the "Königlich Privierte Porzellanfabrik Tettau" with four specialised porcelain factories and an art department established in 1990. In 5 plants, around 1000 employees produce prestigious porcelain for households, hospitality and catering, mass catering, and incentive programmes. Another goal is the production of particularly valuable sculptures by renowned artists and high-quality gifts.

With the acquisition of the Königlich Tettau porcelain factory and manufactories, the Seltmann Group has over 250 years of experience in porcelain production. The porcelain of the group meets the highest global standards in design, functionality, durability, and exclusivity. It is these product qualities, whose high quality standard can only be maintained in Germany. In line with this philosophy, the Seltmann Group - as one of the few porcelain manufacturers - maintains all its production facilities in Germany. Seltmann has developed its own "Made in Germany" seal to credibly and sustainably present the company's emphasis on quality and job security. To maintain the exceptionally high product quality, the porcelain of Königlich Tettau is largely handmade. The excellent result in design, ergonomics, and functionality can be seen in everyday life - and can always be "captured"...
