The triumphal march of the "Maria" form began in 1916. The service was named after the wife of the company founder, Philipp Rosenthal, who married Maria, 35 years younger, in 1916. "Maria" stands for porcelain history and table culture. It is one of the most popular and successful Rosenthal porcelain service. For generations it has been porcelain for weddings and other festive occasions: stylish and timeless. This polygonal tableware shape with the characteristic edge relief in the form of a fruit garland became the most extensive Rosenthal service. More than 80 different parts are available. "Maria" has enjoyed great popularity for decades and is one of the most extensive and best-selling dishes ever. With its large number of special and additional parts, "Maria" fulfills the highest individual demands on classic table culture and presents itself as a complete gourmet program. The elegant charm of this shape lies primarily in the classicistic shape and the balance of classic and romantic style elements - such as the delicate pomegranate relief. The classic, polygonal basic shape is framed by a delicate, finely curved pomegranate relief, which takes up design elements from the Biedermeier period.
