About the Designer

Emilio Pucci (1914–1992), celebrated as the "Prince of Prints," transformed postwar fashion with his bold geometric patterns and vibrant colour palettes inspired by the Mediterranean. His collaboration with Rosenthal brought his unmistakable visual language beyond couture, translating his iconic textiles into collectible porcelain that perfectly captures the optimism and creativity of the late 1960s.

About the Manufacturer

Founded in 1879, Rosenthal became one of Europe's leading porcelain manufacturers through its commitment to innovative design. Under Philip Rosenthal, the company collaborated with internationally renowned architects, artists, and fashion designers, including Walter Gropius, Raymond Loewy, Tapio Wirkkala, Gianni Versace, and Emilio Pucci, creating objects that bridged fine art, fashion, and everyday life.

Design

The "Florence" décor radiates from the centre in a dynamic arrangement of abstract motifs, combining brilliant blues, turquoise, pink, black, and white into a composition full of movement and rhythm. The expansive sky-blue border frames the design beautifully, allowing the vivid central pattern to command attention while maintaining an elegant sense of balance.
