Rose Tapestry

Rose Tapestry porcelain was made by the Royal Bayreuth factory of Tettau, Germany, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The surface of the porcelain was pressed against a coarse fabric while it was still damp, and the impressions remained on the finished porcelain. It looks and feels like a textured cloth. Very skillful reproductions are being made that even include a variation of the Royal Bayreuth mark, so be careful when buying. Other early twentieth-century lines made by Royal Bayreuth include floral, scenic, and portrait china; and the Sunbonnet Babies, Beach Babies, and Snow Babies series.
