Porcelain Lidded Box
“A Day in Morocco” – Reiseimpressionen Collection
Design: Gisela Müller-Behrendt for Rosenthal
An exquisite Rosenthal porcelain lidded box from the celebrated Reiseimpressionen collection, titled “A Day in Morocco.” This piece is the 8th motif in the series and captures the vibrant atmosphere, architecture, and colour rhythms of Morocco through a modern, stylised visual language.
Conceived as both a functional object and a miniature artwork, the box reflects Rosenthal’s long-standing commitment to cultural storytelling through porcelain.
Design & Craftsmanship
The lid is decorated with a richly coloured Moroccan cityscape, rendered in a graphic, contemporary style. Bold hues and intricate patterning evoke the warmth, density, and ornamental character of Moroccan urban life, while maintaining a distinctly modern European design sensibility.
Rather than illustrative realism, the design translates place into rhythm, colour, and abstraction—typical of Rosenthal’s late-20th-century approach to artist-designed decorative objects.
