Dear Bidders, I'm offering here a beautiful set of 4 porcelain vases designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Thomas ( Rosenthal Group ). These oval white porcelain vases feature a glossy finish with a subtle embossed wave-like pattern. Their minimalist yet decorative design makes them suitable for both modern and classic interiors. SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS: Thomas Porcelain is a renowned German manufacturer known for its modern, functional designs and high-quality craftsmanship. The factory was founded in 1904 by Fritz Thomas and quickly built a strong reputation for clean, contemporary tableware. In 1908, Thomas became part of the Rosenthal group, which further elevated the brand’s international visibility and design innovation. Today, Thomas remains appreciated for its stylish, everyday porcelain created in collaboration with leading designers.
