Inspired by Mozart’s opera and Wiinblad’s experience in stage and costume design, the collection translates its characters and scenes into finely worked porcelain reliefs, with excerpts from the libretto appearing beneath many tableware pieces. Considered one of Rosenthal’s most technically demanding designs, it remains in production in the white and gold-accented “Sarastro” versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBjørn Wiinblad \u003c\/strong\u003e(1918–2006), the flamboyant Danish illustrator, set designer and ceramicist, is internationally known for his richly patterned worlds of opera-like figures and ornamental fantasy. Working across media from posters to theatre stages and porcelain, he rejected strict Scandinavian minimalism in favour of lush, narrative decoration. His collaborations with Rosenthal allowed his graphic, romantic style to reach a global audience, translating his drawings into high-quality porcelain reliefs and décors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\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.
