Featured Rosenthal Vase Questions

Picked this one up at an estate sale with a bunch of crystal glassware in a box. My wife saw it and liked it so that is good enough for me. Signed Tadao Amano on the front of it. Lower right of front. Got it for $5.00 so am sure I did alright. It is a Rosenthal, newer mark. It stands 11 inches tall. I would like to know more about the vintage of this vase.

 

Appears they started the studio-linie marks in the very early 70s:

For five bucks it was hard to miss for Rosenthal!

 

On eBay Germany these are typically offered for 40 to 70 EUR and rarely sold for less than 30.

Gorgeous vase! Never doubt Rosenthal studio line items, they always do very well for me and they are very unique and attractive IMHO. But . . . I would keep this one or gift it, it's just too nice and a bargain for $5.

 

Thanks all. Probably a keeper as my wife picked it out, but we have a habit of having things for awhile, and then selling them to get new things.
