Some pics of individual pieces front and back would be helpful in a potential identification

This looks like some of what is pictured ... the designer is Tapio Wirkkala ... ebay.com/itm/394466413301

Variation pattern?

I added a 2nd link. If the description is correct ... "Variation", Rosenthal Studio-line, designed in 1962.

 

They need a new home that uses them......................

Once you have decided to sell , your purchased, inherited , picked, or found items....quickly lose the idea that you have any control over where they go or what will be done with them once in the buyers hands....

A young couple of gay programers might like this set to entertain during Pride month.....
or a Texarkana gun nut, may want them for target practice.....

One never knows, do one ?

 

The tiny peak I can get of your furniture and the fact that you were using Rosenthal Studio line from 1962 tells me you are into Mid Century? Correct? If so, that style is very popular and right now is a good time to sell on to someone else.

If you can't do the packing/shipping part, perhaps a local sale would be best, like FB marketplace or other, even a small estate sale. Downsizing can be a real challenge and the first thing to decide is how you intend to sell everything. Have you given that any thought yet?

 

Pretty sure that Roarins 20s has the correct ID, but a pic of the marks on the base of a plate would confirm. Also, I think there is a date mark which would be a dot somewhere under "Rosenthal." The studio line (studio linie) is high quality designed by noted artists/designers of the period -- some rather avant garde stuff, too.

 

Hello @Mikek & welcome to the forum!!

I purchased a small lot of this at an auction several years ago. I did quite well with it on eBay. You may also want to contact Replacements to see if they are interested in any pieces.

I had some of the Grey Suns plates, along with all-white, textured-line serving pieces & some all-black pieces. It was very striking when put together.

I agree with @ola402 - MCM is very big with certain groups.
