East Frisian rose
The East Frisian rose is a rather abstractly painted rose that decorates the porcelain of the typical East Frisian tea set . This pattern is said to have appeared for the first time in the High Carpathians. This pattern was then used by Wallendorfer Porzellan , a company from Thuringia , as a template for decorating the tea set .
history
Towards the end of the 18th century, traders from Thuringia probably distributed the products of the Wallendorf company in East Frisia for the first time. The East Frisians must have found the porcelain tea set a successful addition to their tea culture, which was firmly anchored in the region as early as the first half of the 18th century. Ultimately, the preference for this tableware led to the fact that this decor was given the name "East Frisian Rose" in the second half of the 19th century. Up to this time and afterwards, the representation of the rose was modified several times. One of these variants was sold in large numbers by the August Warnecke company until 1999.
