Tapio Wirkkala – Ceramics for Rosenthal
An Overview of Tapio Wirkkala’s Rosenthal Ceramics
Tapio Wirkkala (1915–1985) designed many classics for the German Rosenthal porcelain factory from 1956 and onwards. Some of his most well-known objects came from the company’s Studio-Linie series. They usually have organic forms, unicolored surfaces, and modern expression. Sometimes, golden linear decor adorns the pieces.
Tapio’s Studio-Linie objects were made of casted porcelain. On the lower side, they are usually stamped with Rosenthal, Germany, and T Wirkkala. Which of his ceramic objects is your favorite?
