Elizabeth and Richard's collection is throughout their house; it's something they love to see every day. Elizabeth says the beauty of Bjorn Wiinblad Wall Plate 's work is that you can buy a lovely little piece cheaply or you can spend a great deal of money on his large statues. Elizabeth and Richard will keep on collecting because they say, "There is always something out there that you haven't seen before and of course you really feel like you'd like to have it".

Since the 1950s, Rosenthal studio-line has led the industry in modern, avant-garde design. Internationally renowned designers and artists such as Walter Gropius, Timo Sarpaneva, Tapio Wirkkala, Mario Bellini and Bjorn Wiinblad have all contributed to building Rosenthal's brand name. Recent collaborations with designers Jasper Morrison and Platt and Young have led to many new product innovations. For example, Rosenthal secured the worldwide license for reproductions of Andy Warhol's works and designs in crystal and ceramics. Please purchase on online http://www.etabletop.com/
