Trained in Hannover (Werkkunstschule, 1965–70) and Hamburg (Hochschule für Bildende Künste, 1970–77) before relocating to Spain, his porcelain work is prized for its energetic abstract linework, bold color, and postmodern pattern language on vases and serving pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosenthal\u003c\/strong\u003e, founded in 1879 in Selb, Bavaria, is one of Germany’s most important porcelain manufacturers, recognised for combining industrial production with high design standards.
