Made in the USA but designed by the famous porcelain manufacturer of Germany, Rosenthal. These is a lovely porcelain set of teacup and saucer, made by Castleton here in the USA with a design named Sunnyvale. This set has a beautiful design of pink roses, and blue, purple and yellow flowers scattered on the off white or ivory colored porcelain, with sprigs inside the cup too. The edges of the saucer and the foot of the cup are raised in a pearl edge and trimmed in gold. In the late 1930’s with the war looming, Rosenthal approached the Shenango Pottery Company in Pennsylvania to manufacture and supply the Rosenthal catalogue of porcelain products under the name 'Castleton China'. This saved Rosenthal shipping costs, plus any interruptions in manufacturing that could happen if/when war did occur. So that is what these are. Made in the USA but designed by the famous porcelain manufacturer of Germany, Rosenthal. Several years after the war ended, in 1951, Shenango purchased all the Rosenthal U.S. holdings in 'Castleton China' which it continued to produce until 1974. I couldn’t find anything to date this backstamp specifically, but looks this backstamp changed in 1951, so this set was probably made sometime between 1940 and 1951, although it could have been made later. The set is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, stains, or crazing. There is minimal wear to the floral design and a bit of rub wear to the gold, and a spot of rub wear to the gold on the underside of the handle where the scroll is. There is little wear to the glaze looking at an angle to the light. I am guessing this set was barely used, and likely put on display because it is so pretty. The cup is 2 & 1/4 inches tall, and about 4 inches in diameter and hold 3/4 cup. The saucer is 6 & 1/4 inches in diameter. The set weighs 9 ounces.
