Thomas Medaillon White was designed by Hans Theo Baumann in the Thomas China Studio in Germany in 1961. It is hard to believe that the Medaillon shape has been around that long and has certainly stood the test of Time. Still made in Germany of the Finest White Porcelain Medaillon White is a straight edged Contemporary design. The porcelain body is dishwasher safe, practical and durable and ideal for everyday domestic or office use, it is also smart enough for dressing up for more formal dining occasions too. The timeless design is as modern and relevant today as it was at it\'s introduction in 1961.
