HARD PORCELAIN BY SELTMANN WEIDEN – BREAK-RESISTANT QUALITY FROM EASTERN BAVARIA – FOR GENERATIONS

Our hard porcelain is known for its exceptional break resistance and durability in everyday use. All products are regularly inspected and meet applicable European food safety requirements. You can rest assured that our porcelain is safe for daily use.

100% Made in Eastern Bavaria, Germany

Seltmann Weiden manufactures entirely in Eastern Bavaria, from the first production step to the finished porcelain. This ensures the highest quality, short delivery routes, and full control over the entire production process.

A Family-Owned Company with a Sense of Responsibility

As a family-owned company with a long tradition, we combine reliability and consistency with innovation and state-of-the-art technology. Our values are reflected in every single piece.

Tested Safety

In manufacturing, we rely on strictly controlled materials and processes. All products meet applicable legal requirements, and in many areas, they exceed them. You can rest assured that our porcelain is perfectly suited for daily use.

Natural Raw Materials for Superior Quality
Our porcelain is made of 50% kaolin, 25% quartz, and 25% feldspar: natural, carefully selected raw materials for optimal processing and stability. Careful selection and regular testing ensure high quality and consistent processing.

Durable and Robust

Our porcelain is fired at very high temperatures (1000°C and 1450°C), making it exceptionally resistant and long-lasting. The hard glaze protects against scratches, and the high material density provides break resistance, making it ideal for everyday use and the foodservice industry.

Exceptional Hardness, Scratch Resistance, and Break Resistance
The hard glaze protects against scratches from knives and cutlery, while the material's high stability prevents breakage and chipping. This makes it ideal for daily use at home, in communal catering, or in the foodservice industry.

Fine Details for Superior Functionality
Our foot rings are ground and polished with diamonds so they don't leave metal marks on other dishware while ensuring a stable stand. Plate surfaces are perfectly flat, so they don't wobble and stack perfectly. These refined finishing steps prevent abrasion and ensure optimal stackability. Every detail contributes to outstanding everyday practicality.

Made in Germany: A Promise of Quality
For us, "Made in Germany" stands for seamless production controls, the highest manufacturing standards, and transparent production processes. You can rely on every single piece of Seltmann Weiden porcelain.

GERMAN HARD PORCELAIN BY SELTMANN WEIDEN WITH HIGH PRODUCTION STANDARDS

Be Cautious with Low-Priced Imported Porcelain. Quality Standards Matter for Worry-Free Enjoyment.

Many products that are offered at low prices come from overseas. They often rely on lower-quality materials and less rigorous quality controls. Such products also fall short of the hardness, break resistance, and durability of our German hard porcelain.

Even supposedly premium products sourced from outside suppliers rarely meet our high standards. With imported goods, transparency, sustainability, and fair working conditions are often not guaranteed.

Our products are made from carefully tested materials using controlled processes. They not only comply with all legal requirements but exceed them in many areas, so you can rest assured that our porcelain is ideal for daily use.

Notes from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment on Heavy Metals

The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) points out that ceramic and earthenware tableware can release heavy metals that are harmful to health, such as lead, cadmium, and cobalt. This is especially true when glazes are improperly applied or the workmanship is poor. Low-cost imports often put more emphasis on appearance than on consumer protection.

You'll find more details and recommendations here:

• Unprotected or poorly applied glazes can release heavy metals, which can be harmful to your health over time.
• Heavy metals can leach out of low-quality dishware.
• The quality of the glaze determines safety.
• Origin and production methods are critical.
• Cheap goods are often visually appealing but questionable when it comes to safety.
• Consumers should look for tested products.
