Royal Bayreuth is the name of a factory that was founded in Tettau, Bavaria, in 1794. It has continued to modern times. The marks have changed through the years. A stylized crest, the name Royal Bayreuth, and the word Bavaria appear in slightly different forms from 1870 to about 1919. Later dishes may include the words U.S. Zone, the year of the issue, or the word Germany instead of Bavaria. Early twentieth-century lines from Royal Bayreuth include Rose Tapestry; floral, scenic, and portrait china; and the Sunbonnet Babies, Beach Babies, and Snow Babies series. Some recent copies have been made. Related pieces may be found listed in the Rose Tapestry, Sand Babies, Snow Babies, and Sunbonnet Babies categories.
