Rosenthal Winner of international design award, Loft dinnerware epitomizes an urban, modern lifestyle with its clean, all-white forms. Equally suitable for a celebratory dinner party or an impromptu brunch on the rooftop terrace, the German-made porcelain is elegantly spare except for a subtle pattern of fine, ever-so-slightly raised white lines that form concentric circles or squares, depending upon the shape of the piece. This 11-inch round dinner plate features a contemporary flattened coupe shape without a raised border, affording maximum use of the plate surface.

Rosenthal, long one of Germany's most prestigious porcelain manufacturers, produces dinnerware that graces the tables of outstanding hotels and restaurants worldwide. Loft was created by London's Queensberry-Hunt Design Group for Thomas, a Rosenthal brand that melds innovation and mass production. A fitting choice for the design-savvy, Loft mixes and matches round, oval, square, and rectangular pieces for a highly individualized dining aesthetic. Each piece is safe for the microwave and dishwasher and comes handsomely gift-boxed.

Rosenthal, Excellence for All Times provides readers and collectors with a detailed look at the history and works of this internationally recognized company, accompanied by a synopsis of the evolution of Modernism as it took root in Europe and America. Rosenthal's unique position in the design world is detailed through over 450 wonderful photographs, many acquired from Rosenthal's own archives. The company's constant devotion to excellence of product and perfection of design is reflected in the extraordinary examples of porcelain dinnerware, cutlery, glassware, early and late accessories, figurines, and limited edition art found throughout the book.

Detailed biographical material of the artists who design for Rosenthal and the distinguished jurors who oversee all artistic elements adds to the understanding of both Rosenthal and of Modernism and acquaints readers with the styles unique to these individual artists. This important book introduces collectors to a richness of work not recorded elsewhere, a siren call to Modernists who would search for the best of our times.
