Natale Sapone (1921–2002) was an Italian-Swiss artist and designer born in Reggio Calabria, Italy, and later active in Switzerland. He is best known for work in Concrete Art and Op Art, creating geometric paintings, prints, sculptures, jewelry, and design objects defined by precise rhythm, optical pattern, and a strong sense of structure.

Rosenthal, founded in 1879 in Selb, Bavaria, is one of Germany’s most important porcelain manufacturers, recognised for combining industrial production with high design standards. With its Studio-Linie programme from the 1960s onwards, Rosenthal invited international artists and designers to create avant-garde forms and décors, making pieces like this set both functional objects and design collectibles.
