Rosenthal, Thomas - Vase (4) - Porcelain

Dear Bidders,

I'm offering here a beautiful set of 3 porcelain vases and 1 small bowl made by Thomas ( Rosenthal Group ).

The vases shown here reflect this modern utilitarian aesthetic: smooth, rectangular bodies with rounded corners, vertical slot openings and a monochrome glaze typical of Thomas pieces from the late 1960s to the 1980s. During this period, Thomas frequently worked with designers such as Hans (Hans-Theo) Baumann, Richard Scharrer and the Rosenthal in-house studio, all of whom favored simple, architectural forms similar to this series.

Because Thomas production from that era was serial and often unsigned, exact dating is not always possible, but the combination of shape, glaze and proportions suggests a production window around the 1970s–1980s, when the brand was strongly focused on contemporary, minimal, design-driven household pieces under the Rosenthal Studio influence.

SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS:
Thomas, a brand within the Rosenthal Group since 1908, is known for its clean, modernist approach to porcelain design. From the 1950s onward, Thomas became especially associated with functional, Scandinavian-inspired forms and innovative studio design. Many collections from the 1960s–1980s featured geometric silhouettes, soft edges and minimalist surfaces, often created in collaboration with designers from Rosenthal’s “Studio Linie.”
