The Thomas factory, founded in 1903 in Bavaria, became part of the Rosenthal Group in 1908. It specialized in producing high-quality household porcelain. The 'Thomas Ivory' line is particularly renowned for its warm, creamy hue, representing a significant era of German ceramic production and craftsmanship. This bread plate, manufactured between 1938 and 1952, features colorful floral patterns and a green rim, with each plate featuring a unique floral design. Such pieces are valued for their refined vintage aesthetic. It is a wonderful example of mid-century Bavarian tableware, popular among collectors of classic European porcelain.
