2 "Paper Bag" vass by Tapio Wirkkala for Rosenthal Studio-Line, crafted in Germany in the 1970s, is a stunning example of mid-century modern design. At first glance, it looks just like a crumpled paper bag, but in fact, it is beautifully crafted from porcelain, which makes it both an optical illusion and a tactile masterpiece. You won’t be able to resist touching it, just to confirm that your eyes haven’t played a trick on you. One of Wirkkala’s most iconic designs, the "Paper Bag" vase takes an everyday, fleeting object—a paper bag—and transforms it into something permanent, functional, and artistically elevated. Wirkkala, who collaborated with Rosenthal AG from 1956 onward, produced over 200 objects with the brand, but this vase remains one of his most popular and beloved creations. ----------Do not hesitate to contact us for any questions or to combine shipping fees- CONDITION Perfect condition.
