about the designer and manufacturer

brigitte doege's design for rosenthal combines stylised illustration with a vibrant decorative palette, translating the atmosphere of a caribbean landscape into a compact porcelain object.

founded in 1879, rosenthal became internationally recognised for its collaborations with leading artists and designers. Its studio-line, established in 1961, introduced contemporary artistic approaches to porcelain, combining traditional craftsmanship with innovative forms, graphic decoration and collectible design.

design and historical context

the reiseimpressionen series interprets international destinations through individual artistic compositions. In “a day in the caribbean,” doege evokes a tropical landscape through sweeping palm leaves, radiant sunlight, saturated greens, turquoise tones and a stylised horizon.

the lid features a circular palm-tree composition framed by lush tropical foliage, while a smaller coordinating illustration inside the box extends the decorative narrative beyond its exterior. The lively colour palette and simplified forms reflect the playful, illustrative character of late twentieth-century postmodern design.

the underside bears the rosenthal factory inscription identifying the designer, title and numbered series.
