This is a Rosenthal Studio-Line porcelain vase designed by Bjørn Wiinblad, dating to 1980. Tall, slim cylinder in crisp white porcelain, wrapped in gold geometric squares—each tile carries its own hand-drawn pattern, from checkerboards to concentric swirls—like jewelry for your shelf. The gilding has that soft, luxurious glow Wiinblad loved, and the surface looks clean and glossy throughout. Condition is Near Mint, with only the faintest signs of shelf wear and no chips, cracks, or stains. It’s a striking mid-century modern accent that works as a statement stem vase or as a sculptural object on its own.
Rosenthal is a German maker founded in 1879 in Selb, renowned for hard‑paste porcelain and crisp modern design. The Studio-Line, launched in the early 1960s, teamed the factory with leading artists and designers, turning useful objects into works of art. Danish multi‑talent Bjørn Wiinblad was one of their stars, known for playful graphics and generous use of gold decoration. Many Studio-Line pieces from this era were made in West Germany and carry backstamps. Collectors love them because they bridge practicality with gallery design. To keep the gold fresh, avoid the microwave and hand‑wash gently; harsh detergents and scouring pads can dull the finish.
