Waechtersbach Dinnerware

Waechtersbach has been producing quality earthenware since 1832, and is internationally known as a trend setter in the fine dinnerware marketplace. There is more to Waechtersbach than dinnerware. Waechtersbach offers a wide variety of earthenware cups, bowls, and plates for special occasions or for everyday use.

In addition to the factory, there is a castle that has been the home of the royal Ysenburg and Budingen Family for more that 700 years. You will see frescoes, tapestries, and furniture from medieval and renaissance times, as well as china from various centuries. The Buedingen Castle looks back on 800 years of history. The fortifications originate from a moated castle built in the times of the Staufen emperors. For more than 700 years now it has been seat of one family: the lords and counts, now princes of Ysenburg and Buedingen.

During the 18th century a family branch in its own right occupied Buedingen Castle. In the 19th century, the members of the families of Ysenburg-Buedingen and Ysenburg-Waechtersbach were granted princely status.

In 1941 Prince Otto Friedrich of the Waechtersbach branch came into the Buedingen property by inheritance.

Intense, bright colors, in particular cherry red, are a hallmark of Waechtersbach ceramics. Today the company is best known for clean, modern lines of tableware that embody a freewheeling lifestyle. Bold mix-and-match colors, retro daisies, striking black-and-white patterns, and the ever-popular smiley face characterize some of Waechtersbach's most popular dinnerware. Christmas and children's sets are available as well.

Warning: Waechtersbach is made of earthenware, which is the most fragile and absorbent dinnerware material. When used in the microwave, Waechtersbach tends to get very hot very quickly and repeated use in the microwave could cause your Waechtersbach dinnerware to craze and/or crackle. Therefore, it is recommended that you use Waechtersbach in your microwave for warming only (30 seconds or less). Never put Waechtersbach directly into a hot conventional oven because extreme temperature changes will cause it to crack.
