The lidded porcelain amphora from the Rosenthal Maria line is a collectible example of German applied arts from the 1930s to the 1950s.

The dominant color is a deep, cool cobalt blue with a highly saturated, mirror-like gloss.

Its form recalls the understated elegance of pre-war Europe—a time when Rosenthal was setting standards not
