Bjorn Wiinblad for Rosenthal – Sculptural Bisque Porcelain Vase, Model 6613/24 (1971) *Rosenthal Studio Linie – Germany* A beautifully sculpted bisque porcelain vase designed by the celebrated Danish artist Bjorn Wiinblad for Rosenthal’s influential *studio-linie*. Created in 1971, this model (6613/24) is a quintessential example of Wiinblad’s ornamental imagination — translated here into an all-white, deeply tactile, almost architectural language. Design & Aesthetic The vase features a gracefully elongated neck rising from a bulbous, richly decorated body. The matte bisque surface is adorned with Wiinblad’s signature relief pattern: swirling, feather-like motifs that evoke Baroque textiles, theatrical costuming, and the opulent dreamworlds for which the artist is renowned. Rendered entirely in white, the vase becomes a study in light and shadow — the sculptural relief catching illumination like carved plaster or folded fabric. It’s Wiinblad at his most refined: whimsical in spirit, but executed with the disciplined craftsmanship of Rosenthal’s Bavarian porcelain ateliers. Designer Background Bjorn Wiinblad (1918–2006) was one of Scandinavia’s most imaginative and internationally recognised designers. A painter, ceramicist, scenographer, and illustrator, he created a universe of lyrical figures and ornamental patterns far removed from the Nordic minimalism of his contemporaries. His collaborations with Rosenthal — beginning in the late 1950s — became among the company’s most iconic, celebrated for their blend of artistry, theatricality, and technical excellence. Wiinblad’s works are represented in major museum collections worldwide, including the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), the Museum of Arts and Design (New York), and numerous European design museums.
