WHAT IS KPM KRISTER PORCELAIN (1831 2004)
The KPM on the logo referred to the porcelain works founded by Carl Franz Krister at Waldenburg in Silesia. This mark along with letter "R" between the crown and KPM refers to a new Rosenthal facility built in Germany when the original KPM facility was ceded to Poland after World War II. It is believed this set was manufactured between 1952 and 1965 at Rosenthal's new facility under the KPM Krister name.
Carl Franz Krister bought a porcelain company in the town of Waldenburg Germany in 1831.Straight from the start Krister tried to catch customers by imitating the item style and base mark of the Konigliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM)  in Berlin. Being very cautious, he decided to use a simple vertical bar instead of a sceptre. When KPM Berlin shortly afterwards added the initials 'KPM' to their mark, Krister  also added these letters (for Krister Porzellan Manufaktur) and successfully defended them even after the KPM Berlin tried to stop him via court decision.
But Kristler would not have been successful by only relying on copying the famous 'KPM' products and marks. The quality of his products was exceptionally good, and he soon had lots of wealthy customers. Export to customers all across Europe and North America therefore started around 1849. Over time, his business became quite well known and further recognition was achieved through the medals his products earned at the exhibitiona in Wroclaw (1852) and Paris (1867). Carl Krister died in 1867 at the age of 65.
In 1921 the Rosenthal group achieve majority holding, but the traditional name was kept until 1945 when Soviet troops occupied Waldenburg.
As soon as the war ended, it was clear that the area would in future belong to Polish territory and all German citizens with exception of the skilled workers from the factory had to leave the area.
To compensate the loss of production capacity, the Rosenthal group during 1952/53 built a replacement facility in the town of Landstuhl (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) which operated under the name of Krister Porzellan-Manufaktur. During 1965, the firm moved to Marktredwitz in Bavaria. The name of the great Silesian enterprise was discontinued in 1971 due to 'organizational reasons' (as they called it). In the year 2004, Rosenthal finally dropped the Krister trademark registration.
