Rosenthal was founded in 1879 as a family business. The founder Phillip Rosenthal moved his porcelain painting business from Werl in North Rhine-Westphia to Selb in Bavaria, where he was based in the castle Erkersreuth. In 1897, Philipp Rosenthal founded the company Bauer, Rosenthal & Co. in Kronach as well as Philipp Rosenthal & Co. AG. In 1908, Rosenthal bought the porcelain manufacturer Thomas in Marktredwitz and the porcelain company Zeidler & Co. in 1917.
In 1921, the company took over the Krister Porzellanmanufaktur in Walbrzych, Silesia. The factory was closed in 1945, but the brand was revived in 1951 and used until 1971.
