RW Bavaria

Many of us commonly refer to it as 'RW Bavaria,' but the official company name was 'Porzellanmanufaktur Rudolf Wächter.'

Rudolf Wächter was the founder, and he exported many products to the U.S. So you can find RW Barbarian products very easily on eBay in the U.S.

The company was established in the early 20th century and ceased operations in the 1970s.



Rudolf Wächter Marks

The initials R.W.K stand for 'Rudolf Wächter Kirchenlamitz,' with Kirchenlamitz being the town in Germany associated with the company's origins.

Since the period when East and West Germany were separated was from 1949 to 1990, we can assume that the product was produced during this period.
