Rosenthal Sonetto

"Sonetto", Italian for "the sonnet", is the oldest form of Italian poetry, a melodically recited poem. Rosenthal has created a true poem in porcelain with this new collection. Instead of verses and stanzas, the new line features organic and floral shapes as well as a variety of materials. Culinary highlights can be tastefully presented on different levels. The Sonetto plates play with highs and lows and trompe-l'oeil effects. A raised flower-shaped mirror, for example, places the very finest dishes on a pedestal. Floral shapes are also used in the various bowls, cups and plates, whether in the outer shape or in small details such as the handles of the cups. The collection is based on simple white glazes, some glossy, some matt. Gold rims add an elegant accentuation. Meanwhile, rough, handmade-style bowls, jugs and small containers with or without lids, robustly shaped from stoneware, skilfully contrast with the delicate porcelain items.
