Rosenthal Form 1382

Rosenthal »Form 1382«

The »Form 1382« by Rosenthal (formerly Arzberg Porcelain): Designed by Dr. Hermann Gretsch in 1931, this design classic is still produced and sold unchanged. No other tableware in German industrial history can boast such uninterrupted success over such a long period. The designer of the Rosenthal »Form 1382«, Hermann Gretsch, was an architect and ceramist. His demand for a »good form« was, in his own words: »In the future, we can no longer afford to bring things to market that no longer bring joy to the consumer after a short time because they are impractical, outdated, and unfashionable.« Under this premise, this porcelain was created, which has lost none of its fascination and beauty over time. Rosenthal »Form 1382« – an original, in the spirit of the Bauhaus style: Unmistakable and above all trends and fashions.

Despite its design claim, the Rosenthal »Form 1382« is by no means aloof, museum-like, or purely functional. The soft lines of the pot, cup, sugar bowl, and milk jug create service pieces that are shaped like hand-flatterers. Balanced proportions ensure a sympathetic, familiar appearance. To this day, this tableware meets all expectations of timeless, practical, and beautifully shaped porcelain, and is – as it was then - »the good form for every day«.

Important information for our customers:
Since 2013, the traditional brand Arzberg has been part of Rosenthal GmbH. As Rosenthal simplifies its brand structure, the Arzberg forms Cucina and Tric will be marketed under the Thomas brand in the future, while the Form 1382 and Joyn will be integrated into the Rosenthal label.
Through this integration, Rosenthal aims to give the four successful Arzberg forms even more internationality and visibility. The high quality and outstanding design of the collections will remain unchanged. The products will only receive a new bottom stamp.
