This hotsell listing is for a pair (2) of vintage Rosenthal Studio Linie porcelain oval candle holders. These sweet and colorful candleholders were designed by the Danish artist, Bjorn Wiinblad, for Rosenthal, the premier German fine art ceramic manufacturer of the 20th century. The holders were most likely made in 1974 and are part of a design series that Wiinblad created and called "1001 Nights" which takes its cues from the fairy tale books entitled, "1001 Arabian Nights". The cobalt blue and white holders have the signature colorful hand painted designs Wiinblad is known for, featuring, on the front, a Middle Eastern man or woman with an elaborate headdress and playing a flute. On the back, there is a gold and silver swag. The holders have lots of painted gold flourishes for added interest. The candle holders each measures 3-1/4 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches deep and stands 5-1/4 inches tall (note: I have a pair of the medium and large candleholders in a separate listing). The holders each have Wiinblad's signature on one side edge and are also marked with his signature on the bottom, along with "Rosenthal Studio Linie Germany" and "1001 Nacht" and a number "14". They are both in excellent used vintage condition with respect to age and use. There are no cracks, chips, or repairs. These beautiful candlestick holders would make an excellent gift or keep them for yourself to add to your growing collection of ceramic art.

Bjørn Wiinblad was born in Copenhagen in 1918. At a very early age, he began to show signs of his talent for drawing and creating imaginative worlds. When he turned 17, Wiinblad began an apprenticeship as a typographer, but soon realized that his heart was set on following the path of an artist. He was accepted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Despite being born and trained in Denmark, Wiinblad's style was anything but Danish. Instead of designing in a functionalist aesthetic like many of his midcentury contemporaries, Wiinblad espoused a delicate and romantic style that was dominated by a rich color palette and undulating lines, often drawing inspiration from fairy tales. His artistic range went from drawings to ceramic art. His work illustrating the ‘1001 Nights' inspired him to draw a variety of ceramic objects such as vases and pots decorated with themes from these fairy tales. No matter what surface or medium Wiinblad chose for his creations, his style was instantly recognizable and truly inimitable. In 1957, Wiinblad was appointed Chief Designer for the prestigious German brand Rosenthal, a position that enhanced his international reputation even further. Women were a consistent theme for Wiinblad. The women in his work displayed a wide range of emotional nuances and the eyes and their gaze were always very special. Wiinblad's work has been featured in many museum exhibitions and permanent collections around the world, including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the National museum in Stockholm. Wiinblad passed away in 2006.
