Message:: [QUOTE="Joe Hastings, post: 5994081, member: 79497"]I have a Thomas (Rosenthal) vase which I really love, and I'd like to know who designed it.  An example of the vase is show below. It's made by Thomas Porzellan (which is part of Rosenthal), and is a vase from the Blütenfest (Blossom Festival) series. It's oval, 24 high, with an impressed mark '304-24' (I think 304 is the model/design and 24 is the height).  It has a "Thomas Germany" stamp which was used between 1959 and 1977, so I think it was made somewhen between these dates. All good so far but I'd like to know who designed the vase and that's where the internet isn't helping.  Sale listings for identical vases attribute both Rosamonde Nairac and Tapio Wirkkala as the designer (and it surely can't have been designed by both people), and the design is called "Morphological Forest", "Wave" & "Surf" in different places (I think it looks like a wave or surf but would like to know for sure). What I'd like is a definitive and accurate source that I can view, or contact or even buy, to find the correct details. I'm hoping someone here might be able to steer me in the right direction? Thank you and kind regards, Joe <img src="https://a.1stdibscdn.com/pair-of-rosamunde-nairac-porcelain-vases-thomas-germany-1970d-for-sale/f_67752/f_308268521666212597564/f_30826852_1666212597842_bg_processed.jpg?disable=upscale&auto=webp&quality=60&width=800" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
