The Royal Bayreuth (Koniglich Priv. Porcelain Factory Co.), Germany, was founded 1794, and was the first porcelain factory in Bavaria. The factory was established by Friedrich Christian von Marwitz, a Prussian officer who had been granted permission to operate a porcelain factory by the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.

The early years of the factory were difficult, but it eventually began to produce high-quality porcelain that was comparable to that of the famous Meissen factory. In 1812, the factory was granted the title of "Koniglich Priv. Porzellanfabrik Tettau" (Royal Bavarian Porcelain Factory Tettau) by King Maximilian I of Bavaria.

In the late 19th century, Royal Bayreuth began to produce figural pieces which often depict animals, children, and historical figures and novelties. The factory was also one of the first to produce porcelain wares with transfer-printed designs, which made them more affordable for a wider range of consumers.

Royal Bayreuth porcelain is also known for its figural pieces, which often depict animals, children, and historical figures.

Royal Bayreuth porcelain was exported worldwide, and the factory was a major employer in the Tettau region. However, the factory suffered significant damage during World War II, and it did not resume production until 1948. In 1968, the factory was acquired by the Rosenthal Group, and it continued to produce porcelain under the Royal Bayreuth brand until 1989. In 2002, the factory was sold to a private investor, and it resumed production of Royal Bayreuth porcelain in 2007. Royal Bayreuth porcelain is still produced in the town of Tettau, Germany. less...
