Dear Bidders, I'm offering here an elegant vintage smoking set by Björn Wiinblad for Rosenthal, consisting of an ashtray, table lighter, cigarette holder and two candlesticks. Designed in the distinctive and highly recognizable style of Wiinblad, the pieces feature richly textured, ornamental surfaces with stylized floral and figurative motifs inspired by oriental fairy tales. His work is known for its imaginative, decorative character and poetic storytelling, often drawing on themes from One Thousand and One Nights. This set is most likely related to Wiinblad’s “1001 Nights” universe and may connect stylistically to series such as Aladin or Sindbad, created for Rosenthal Studio-Line during the late 1970s–1980s. These collections reflected his fascination with exotic narratives and elaborate, theatrical design language. A rare and cohesive decorative ensemble combining functional smoking accessories with collectible design objects—ideal for collectors of mid-century modern and studio ceramics. SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS: Rosenthal, founded in 1879 in Selb (Germany), is known for high-quality porcelain and long standing collaborations with leading designers of the 20th century — theirs is a legacy of merging art and industrial design in timeless creations. Bjørn Wiinblad (1918–2006) was a Danish designer and artist renowned for his whimsical, decorative style.
