Thomas Germany, Scandic Shadow Green, Teapot

Hertha Bengtson – Scandic Shadow, Thomas Germany

Scandic Shadow Green is a bold colour combination of an intense lime green, with deep blue rims - and it all works so well together on the fantastic forms of domed lids, and bulbous bodies.

Thomas Germany, Eclipse

This very smart modernist op-art design is “Eclipse”, made by Thomas of Germany c1970s. (Part of the Rosenthal group) . The bold, crisp design was created by H.T. Baumann & Barbara Brenner for Thomas/Rosenthal.

Barbara Brenner worked for Rosenthal from 1960 to ?. Her “Scenario Metropol” and its strong “Memphis” style pattern, has become known as her signature design.

Eclipse was one of several designs at Thomas during this era which had these typically white ground minimalist designs decorated with very bold and striking “op-art” patterns .
