Description

Offered is a salad, luncheon or dessert plate in the Flash pattern by Rosenthal China of Germany. The plate is marked with the proper backstamp. It was designed and signed by Dorothy Hafner. These plates are in STUNNING condition and look like they were rarely if ever used and are highly collectable. There are no chips, cracks or crazing. I could not even find utensil marks on them, if there are any I could not find them. The plate is 7 3/4" across. Trained as a painter and sculptor, Dorothy Hafner first tried her hand at ceramics, both functional and sculptural in 1973. In the ensuing 15 years she created over 12 lines of tableware, both hand crafted and industrially produced, for such firms as Tiffany & Co. in NYC and Rosenthal in Germany. Her "Flash" dinnerware, for Rosenthal, created in 1982 quickly became an instant icon of its era and is chronicled in many books on the history of ceramics as well as the design arts. Several of these books feature her work on their covers. Please reach out if you have any questions.
