CZECH Czech Republic BOHEMIA Bohemia Carlsbad Carlsbad Zwiebelmuster (Blue Onion) Teapot [Quantity] 1 [Size] Height: Approximately 11cm Length: Approximately 11cm Width: Approximately 20cm Opening Diameter: Approximately 5cm Capacity: Approximately 650ml [Carlsbad] "Carlsbad" is a porcelain brand originating from the Bohemia region of the Czech Republic (Karlovy Vary region), known for its Blue Onion style. Generally, it is considered one of the "world's three major Blue Onions" along with MEISSEN (Meissen) and HUTSCHENREUTHER (Hutschenreuther), and is popular as a brand that allows you to enjoy the tradition of European luxury porcelain at a relatively affordable price and with a rounded form. "Blue Onion" is one of the representative dyed patterns in European porcelain, originating in the early 18th century when the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory in Germany designed it with reference to Chinese porcelain. However, the name "Onion" is a misunderstanding; in reality, it is based on motifs such as pomegranates, peaches, and bamboo, which were interpreted as looking like "onions" in 18th-century Europe and became widespread. Carlsbad's Blue Onion features a traditional dyed blue design, with vibrant cobalt blue patterns on white porcelain. The form has a relatively "chubby" and "rounded" impression, making it easy to use for everyday tea time without being stiff. This is in contrast to Meissen, which is aimed at "royalty and nobility," and Carlsbad is oriented towards being more "domestic" and "practical." Production is carried out by Czech porcelain manufacturers (often the Dubi factory), and it is often characterized by the imprints of "BOHEMIA" or "D (Dubi)." Zwiebelmuster (Zwiebelmuster) is the German word for onion pattern and refers to the Blue Onion pattern.
