Waechtersbach

Since 1832, Waechtersbach has stood for quality work and craftsmanship. Unique glazing expertise, innovative designs and techniques, and functional and contemporary aesthetics characterize the success of the Waechtersbach brand to this day.

Waechtersbach was founded on June 8, 1832. Under Max Roesler, Waechtersbach experienced its first boom period from 1874 to 1890. Completely new techniques including its own drawing and ornamental moulding school, as well as the collaboration of renowned designers, led to an enormous increase in the artistic level of the line.

Starting in 1927, the young, Bauhaus - influenced designer Ursula Fesca was entrusted with the artistic renovation of the line. With trend - setting designs and techniques, sophisticated modern forms, and functional, timeless aesthetics, her work became synonymous with the so - called “Fesca Style” between 1931 and 1965.

We are convinced that unique, hand - crafted quality combined with innovative, technical expertise transcends time and - because of this – will leave a lasting impression on your table and your guests, even into the future.

We make sure that Waechtersbach dishes are dishwasher and microwave safe, food safe, nontoxic, environmentally friendly and durable. See wbachus.com for care instructions.

You are Today Special

The Original Red Plate Tradition

It is a time-honored tradition among many families that when someone deserves special praise, they are served dinner on The Red Plate. Acknowledge your family‘s special triumphs with the You Are Special Today Plate and Mug. Use the plate to commemorate birthdays, engagements, graduations, a new baby or new house, Mother‘s Day, Father‘s Day, anniversaries, homecomings, promotions … the possibilities are endless!

When some of the first immigrants to America arrived from Europe, they often carried with them few personal belongings. It was common to have very little in the way of formal dinnerware, with the exception of maybe one beautiful, brightly-colored plate, which soon became a prized possession.

This is where the Red Plate tradition began. Since this “special” plate was reserved for special occasions, it became a way to mark life’s important milestones.

Today, as this custom grows to additional products and newfound traditions, it always reminds us that a simple reward can mean so much. By using the Red Plate, any meal becomes a celebration, honoring a special person, event, or deed. It is a visible reminder of love and esteem, a way of showing someone dear that they are appreciated and remembered.

Arrives gift-boxed, with a permanent marker that can be used to note the reason for celebration on the bottom of the plate.

Whether drinking hot chocolate, co ee, or tea, our festive mugs are a must-have for the holiday season! These beautiful mugs also make the perfect gift.

In pace with the current times, Konitz brings personality to its mugs. Quality shapes with stylish patterns and colors appeal to the individuality of customers in the various areas of design, fashion and lifestyle.

The soft floral artwork of German illustrator, Julia Kluge, contrasts beautifully with the concrete finish on our Concrete Texture Co ee-To-Go Mugs.

Our Black & White Collection is not only striking and bold, but modern and stylish.

The Picasso Collection displays famous works on high quality bone china and porcelain.

—Pablo Picasso, the most famous artist of the 20th century

I don´t say everything, but I paint everything.

Konitz develops mug designs that coordinate gently with each other in shape and motif. The combination of premium production quality and artistic love of detail allow your moments of enjoyment to become special.
