Rosenthal -
persis dinnerware collection by rosenthal
the persis collection was designed by paul wunderlich for rosenthal’s classic line, new for 2009. the opulent gold patterns are reminiscent of the orient. the gold-plating is applied intricately by hand to the plate rims - resulting in a fine, filigree relief on the plate. the spouts & handles of the service pieces are also entirely hand painted. paul wunderlich is an internationally known graphic designer & object artist. his work is characterized by magic and mysticism and he often uses precious materials such as noble metals, ivory, & porcelain. wunderlich has been working for rosenthal since 1978.
