Accurate Description of Item
Two Mid Century Wawel China teasets
Appraiser Remarks
Wawel china has been made in the same factory, in what is present-day Poland, since 1831. At that time, the region was a part of Silesia, Germany. It was then that Carl Krister began the manufacture of china tableware and gave his name to the company, Krister Porzellan Manufaktur.
Krister’s high quality products earned it a place of honor in the china tableware industry. In 1921, the company became part of the Bavarian Rosenthal consortium. In 1945, the region came under Polish rule and the name of the company was changed to Krzysztof (which is the Polish equivalent to the German name - Krister or the English name - Christian).
The Wawel brand name was launched in 1953 and has been used ever since. In terms of values for Wawel china, they tend to be modest at the present time, with tea sets like this often selling for under $150.00 (each).
