Which Rosenthal vases for which flowers?

The current flower trend is moving towards ‘less is more’: single flowers in simple vases or arrangements with seasonal plants are all the rage. Dried flowers are also enjoying a stylish revival – and are ideal for designer vases with a small capacity. Natural grasses, pampas grass, lagurus (rabbit's tail grass) and palm spears are particularly popular. They bring warmth and tranquillity to the room and harmonise perfectly with the matt finish of many Rosenthal vases – such as the Rosenthal Node vase.

Combinations of fresh and dried flowers, textured blooms such as banksia and unusual pastel colour gradients are particularly popular. Eucalyptus paired with poppies, craspedia with fresh freesia or delicate clouds of gypsophila combined with dried lavender are also en vogue. The contrast between texture and vibrancy gives the arrangements a special character.

Whether as a loving gift, decorative highlight or mood enhancer in everyday life – fresh cut flowers beautify every home. Some types of flowers are particularly well suited for vases because they not only look beautiful but also stay fresh for a long time.

• Roses: The classic with symbolic meaning. They are particularly long-lasting in vases if the water is changed regularly.
• Lilies: Large, elegant and intensely fragrant – just a few stems create an impressive eye-catcher.
• Tulips are particularly popular in spring. They often continue to grow a little in the vase and have a natural, dynamic look.
• Gerberas: Cheerful colours and long-lasting. However, only add a little water to the vase to protect the stems.
• Peonies: Lush and romantic, especially popular in early summer. Their large flowers make them a favourite of many flower lovers.
• Sunflowers: Summery, sunny, atmospheric – ideal for adding a bold splash of colour and good cheer to any room.
• Freesias: Delicate and fragrant with several flowers on one stem. They bring lightness and elegance to smaller vases.

Rosenthal's miniature vases embody minimalist design in the smallest of spaces – miniature editions with wow factor, such as Rosenthal's Squall Fossil, the Plissée Lava vase or the Fast Fossil vase design. With a height of around 8 to 11 cm, the mini vases are perfect for delicate flowers such as violets, baby's breath or mini roses. When arranged together, the vases with different flowers in bright colours create an artistic arrangement – harmonious, stylish and yet delicate. Even without contents, they fascinate as collector's items with their eye-catching design aesthetics.

Rosenthal's bulbous vases, for example from the glass vase collection, combine functionality with clear design – a design that radiates lightness. The generous curves offer flower bouquets enough space to unfold and are ideal for voluminous peonies, hydrangeas or individual amaryllis. Pastel shades look particularly beautiful through the glass. The gentle curves bring a sense of calm, while the play of light and colour highlights the flowers. Even modern dried bouquets – made from pampas grass, lagurus or eucalyptus, for example – unfold their aesthetic effect here. Twigs also blend in harmoniously. Whether on the dining table or in the window, these vases create an interplay of nature, light and modern living that inspires and calms.
