Melting Crucibles

Rosenthal Porzellan A.G. was a German porcelain manufacturer founded in 1879 in Selb, Bavaria, pioneering industrial ceramics design through collaboration with modernist designers. The studio produced tableware, decorative objects, and sculptural vessels that integrated Bauhaus principles and contemporary art movements into mass production. Rosenthal became known for commissioning works from established and experimental artists, establishing porcelain as a medium for avant-garde formal innovation rather than purely functional craft.
