Rosenthal “Paper Bag” Vase by Tapio Wirkkala (c. 1977)
An original, oversized porcelain “Paper Bag” vase designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Rosenthal’s “Do Not Litter” series. Wirkkala playfully reinterprets single-use consumer goods as enduring design objects, casting the familiar texture of crumpled paper in porcelain. This monumental version is among the rarest and most sought-after sizes in the series.
