Royal Bayreuth has been recognized by many collectors as one of the finest producers of porcelain pieces for more than 200 years. In the late 1800s, Royal Bayreuth introduced figural patterns, which rapidly became popular. Unlike traditional pieces such as pitchers and cups that were primarily utilitarian, their pieces combined decorative aspects fashioned after natural elements such as fruits, flowers, and animals. These figural pieces are among the most popular items sought after by antique Royal Bayreuth collectors today. In addition to the figural items, tapestry pieces are also popular collectible items. The rose tapestry collection, for example, contains baskets, creamers, vases, and dresser boxes. This collection features elegant rose designs, in one, two, and three colors. Royal Bayreuth's nursery rhyme collection can make a great gift for new parents or your own child. These porcelain wares feature popular nursery rhyme characters such as Little Bo Peep or Jack and the Beanstalk. They can be used to decorate a nursery or added to a display in your dining room, where they can capture your child's imagination and over time become treasured heirlooms. Someone with an interest in preserving nature and wildlife may appreciate a Royal Bayreuth toothpick holder fashioned like a deer's head. Your friends who have a green thumb can enjoy a sugar bowl dish or tea pot that is shaped like a tomato. These porcelain pieces continue to combine decoration and function in the 21st century, just as they have for the last two centuries.
