Remarks: Marked Rosenthal Germany. Decor “Florence”. Designed by Emilio Pucci as part of Rosenthal’s groundbreaking collaborations with leading international fashion designers.
Emilio Pucci (1914–1992), often referred to as the “Prince of Prints,” revolutionized postwar fashion through his kaleidoscopic patterns, bold colors, and dynamic geometric compositions. His collaboration with Rosenthal brought this distinctive visual language from couture into the domestic sphere, translating fashion into collectible porcelain objects.
Founded in 1879, Rosenthal became one of the most innovative European porcelain manufacturers under Philip Rosenthal’s leadership, collaborating with architects, artists, designers, and fashion icons including Walter Gropius, Raymond Loewy, Gianni Versace, and Emilio Pucci. These collaborations transformed everyday porcelain into a medium for contemporary design and artistic experimentation.
The “Florence” décor captures the optimistic spirit of the late 1960s, when fashion, graphic design, and interiors increasingly overlapped. The circular composition recalls both Renaissance rose windows and the psychedelic visual culture of the era, while the broad blue field gives the bowl an unexpectedly fresh and contemporary presence.
Equally compelling as a serving piece, centerpiece, or wall display, this bowl works beautifully in interiors that embrace color, pattern, and design history. On a lacquered console, a travertine dining table, or against a neutral backdrop, it introduces a sophisticated burst of Mediterranean energy while remaining unmistakably Rosenthal in its precision and quality.
