In the late 19th century, the history of the Theresienthal glassworks was closely linked to the Bavarian "fairytale king" Ludwig II and his penchant for pomp and splendor. The company was involved in the Regent's numerous construction projects and in this way not only received many orders, but also an excellent reputation.
The two World Wars marked a turning point for the next generation – the brothers Hans and Egon von Poschinger. However, the expansion of business in America during and after the First World War and the economic miracle in the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1950s allowed the manufactory to recover after both wars and regain its appeal.
In the 1970s the situation became difficult, with Theresienthal even stopping operations at times.
Fortunately, in 2004, some supporters of the traditional company took on the task of reviving the production of the glass manufactory. Today, a family from the region of the company headquarters is leading it into the future and making old and new designs of the art of glassmaking accessible to today's generation.
The two designers Thomas Kuball and Peter Kempe took up the collection and used it as the basis for designing the new collection – cups, chalices, carafes, vases, bowls ...
The thin-walled works of art, often in delicate colors and finely engraved, are produced exclusively by hand by experienced glassmakers, grinders, engravers and painters.
Handmade and the ultimate glassmaking in perfection – then as now.
