ROSENTHAL Century Blau Blume Sauceboat – Vintage

Rosenthal Century Blau Blume Sauceboat or Blue Flower Design by Tapio Wirkkala for Rosenthal.

Tapio Wirkkala’s beautiful porcelain tableware is a celebration of Rosenthal’s 100-year potting anniversary. For this porcelain form, Tapio Wirkkala’s honours in Industrial Design. Back stamped with 100 years of Rosenthal. the design was produced from 1980 to 1993

With the “Century” design the porcelain transparency is particularly remarkable. The point relief is directed inward; when held to the light there are two densities of translucence giving a remarkable dispersion of light not often found in porcelain. The colours are wistful, beautiful and romantic.
