Collectible Rosenthal porcelain vase “Alphabet R”

This distinctive Rosenthal Studio-Line porcelain vase was designed in the 1980s by Italian designer and architect Marcello Morandini. It belongs to the “Alphabet” series, also known as “Glück / Happiness”. A bold geometric composition representing a stylised letter R stands out against its smooth white porcelain surface. The design reflects constructivist ideas and the bold colours, clear lines and architectural rhythm associated with the Memphis movement. Rosenthal is renowned for collaborations with leading artists. This vase is both a functional vessel for flowers and a collectible design object. Its unusual flat arch form also allows it to stand alone as a sculptural accent in a modern or minimalist interior.

The vase is in excellent vintage condition and its colourful decoration remains vivid and sharply defined. It would appeal to collectors of design as well as anyone looking for a distinctive gift with a story.
