The perfect gift!

This exquisite Rosenthal porcelain lidded box, titled “A Day in Morocco”, belongs to the sought-after *Reiseimpressionen* (“Travel Impressions”) collection. Designed by the artist Gisela Müller-Behrendt, this edition—the eighth in the series—captures the vivid spirit and colors of Moroccan culture through Rosenthal’s signature combination of fine craftsmanship and artistic design.

Design and Craftsmanship
The piece features a stylized, modern interpretation of a Moroccan cityscape, rendered in brilliant tones of turquoise, gold, terracotta, and ochre. The angular architecture and rhythmic ornamentation evoke the warmth, vibrancy, and geometric harmony typical of Moroccan visual culture. The surface is finely detailed and hand-decorated, turning the small porcelain box into a striking miniature artwork.

About the Designer:
Gisela Müller-Behrendt (b. 1930) was a German designer and illustrator whose artistic collaborations with Rosenthal in the 1970s and 1980s brought a painterly sensibility to fine porcelain. Her *Reiseimpressionen* series, conceived as a visual journey through cultures and cities, celebrates color, geometry, and storytelling through decorative design. Each piece is a collectible artwork in miniature, reflecting Müller-Behrendt’s fascination with architecture and light.

About the Manufacturer:
Founded in 1879 in Selb, Bavaria, Rosenthal became one of the world’s foremost porcelain manufacturers, known for combining traditional craftsmanship with avant-garde artistry. The *Studio-Line* and themed collections of the 1970s–1980s—such as *Reiseimpressionen*—illustrate Rosenthal’s role in uniting applied art and cultural expression.

Collectible Significance:
“A Day in Morocco” is a highlight of the *Reiseimpressionen* collection, merging cultural homage with refined craftsmanship. Its limited production and artistic quality make it highly desirable among collectors of Rosenthal porcelain. Compact yet visually rich, it embodies the charm of mid- to late-20th-century European decorative art—a perfect addition to any modern design collection.
