Frey on base).
Model number 635 – a classic in the sought-after "Rose" series that captures timeless romantic charm with modernist Mid-Century appeal.


Pure white bisque porcelain with a soft matte exterior finish that beautifully contrasts the smooth glossy glazed interior.
The body showcases intricate high-relief sculptural roses (or rose branches/vines) in Frey's signature organic style, creating subtle texture and shadow play as light moves across the surface. Graceful flared or tapered form (typical of the series) provides elegant proportions and a sculptural presence.
