A flawless pillow vase from Bavarian porcelain manufacturer ROSENTHAL representing Bjørn Wiinblad's most famous group of designs for the company, '1001 Nacht' (1001 Nights).  Examples with deep-blue cobalt bases and gold detailing are highly sought-after and arguably the most well-executed in the series.  Whimsical and quite beautiful.

BJØRN WIINBLAD was born in Copenhagen in 1918 into a prominent family immersed in Denmark's political and social affairs—interests that Wiinblad never shared.  He apprenticed for a time as a typographer before deciding to pursue a career in art.  A fellow student at the Graphics School of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts introduced him to the decoration of ceramics.  In 1945, two years after graduating, he made his debut with a small exhibition in Copenhagen.  A large number of ceramics as well as drawings, posters, and other artwork were displayed.  It attracted great attention and led to commissions from both within Denmark and abroad—and to Wiinblad's recruitment by the artistic director of a small Danish earthenware factory, Nymølle.  An outpouring of platters, bowls, cups, dishes, ashtrays, and candlesticks from Nymølle ensued, all bearing Wiinblad’s designs.  Their easy affordability assured his great popularity within Denmark.  In 1951, Wiinblad established a workshop of his own in the town Hjortekær north of Copenhagen.  It would eventually become a production hub for worldwide distribution.

At a time when functionalism was preeminent in the world of design, Wiinblad espoused a style dominated by wavy lines and romantic visions.  Comical, smiling, round-faced people, dressed in fanciful costume and often surrounded by natural elements—twining vines, floral wreaths, fantastical trees—were characteristic of his work.  Color was employed with great assurance: saturated and strong, sometimes psychedelic, often supplemented by metallics.  The wider world discovered Wiinblad in the mid-1950s.  He met Philip and Lavinia Rosenthal toward the end of the decade, and they became lifelong friends; in 1960 he was appointed the artistic director at their porcelain factory in Bavaria.  His most popular dinnerware design for ROSENTHAL, 'Romanze,' is typical Wiinblad in terms of its incredible level of fine, decorative detail.  From 1971 through 1982 he produced an annual commemorative Christmas plate for the company.

Wiinblad is also noted for poster design and his work with textiles, the latter used in costumes for ballets and stage presentations.  In 1954 he began collaborating with businesses and organizations in Dallas, Texas.  (He would operate a store there in the 1980s.)  He received commissions from the Dallas Ballet and the Dallas Theater Center for costume and set design; from retailer Neiman Marcus; and for multiple projects for noted Dallas developer Trammell Crow.  Wiinblad designed five massive Scheherazade tapestries for the Dallas International Apparel Mart that were displayed from 1973 until the building was closed in 2004.

Museums around the world have Wiinblad's work in their permanent collections.  Among these are the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; MoMA in New York; and Stockholm's National Museum in Oslo.  Wiinblad's desire was to create objects that were accessible to everyone, and he was not shy about breaking down the boundaries between art and design.  He died in 2006 at the age of 87.

ROSENTHAL was founded in 1879 as a family porcelain painting business in the town of Werl in the Rhineland by Philipp Rosenthal, the son of a porcelain merchant.  Its small operations were soon moved to the palace building of Schloß Erkersreuth, a castle that Rosenthal and his bother Max had acquired in Selb, Bavaria, near the Czech border.  The enterprise enjoyed an unexpected breakthrough with the commercial success of its cigar ashtrays.  By 1889 ROSENTHAL had 60 employees and had moved the company into town and opened its own porcelain factory there.  The company continued to expand through start-ups and acquisitions.  In 1916, Rosenthal introduced an eight- and twelve-sided porcelain dinnerware set, ‘Maria,’ named after his second wife, Maria Franck.

In 1934, during the era of National Socialism, Rosenthal, although a Catholic, was ousted from the company because of his Jewish ancestry.  The management and supervisory boards turned against him and implemented various measures to prevent his using his voting rights to change board composition.  The Nazi Party was asked for support, and Rosenthal's voting shares were sold to his enemies.  Notwithstanding, the regime never went directly against Rosenthal so as not to jeopardize the foreign reputation of the export-strong company.  Rosenthal was physically incapacitated in 1936; his death in 1937 paved the way for the anti-Semitic executive committee and Rosenthal's more party-sympathetic grandchildren.

After WWII, Philipp Rosenthal's son Philip Rosenthal, having returned from exile in England, traveled to Selb at the request of family members to pursue restitution claims.  He joined the paternal porcelain company in 1950 and became head of its design department two years later.  In collaboration with such acclaimed industrial designers as Raymond Loewy, Tapio Wirkkala, Elsa Fischer-Treyden, Timo Sarpaneva, Verner Panton, and Luigi Colani, an impressive product range was assembled.  Contributions by well-known modern artists Henry Moore, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Salvador Dalí, Ernst Fuchs, and HAP Grieshaber secured ROSENTHAL's international fame.  When Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius laid plans for its new porcelain factory in 1963, he threw in the design for his award-winning 'TAC' tea set.

Philip Rosenthal served as chairman of the board throughout most of the 1960s and '70s.  During this tenure, ROSENTHAL had more than 10,000 employees.  One of the first modern entrepreneurs in Germany, Rosenthal pioneered a co-determination system for employees in 1963.  By 1997, ROSENTHAL (publicly traded since 1939) was 90%-owned by Waterford Wedgwood and the market leader for high-quality porcelain and glassware in Germany—and, in conjunction with Waterford, the leader worldwide.  When liquidity issues forced the collapse of Waterford, ROSENTHAL was compelled to file for insolvency.  The subsequent court proceedings led to its sale in 2009 to the Italian household producer Sambonet Paderno.  Founded the same year, Rosenthal GmbH is an independent company of the Sambonet-Paderno Group and remains head-quartered in Selb.

I have chosen to create things that can make people's everyday life richer and more beautiful. – BJØRN WIINBLAD

this book set my soul ablaze! <3
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
"i had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and i was grateful to see another calm morning." this book. this book! i loved the last storm so much. the writing style. the descriptions. the world-building. the characters. the plot twists. the tropes. the sexual tension. the—everything. everything was magic. the last storm follows our two main characters, ara and rogue, giving us dual POV from both characters (which i loved, btw). ara, a human girl who has been locked away in her father’s estate most of her life, just wants to see the world. all she dreams of is seeing what else is out there. but when her father announces her engagement, she knows that dream will become nothing more than just that—a dream. rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adon’s secrets, rogue infiltrates auryna’s borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the general’s precious only child is sitting at the bar, drink round after round of mead. now he just needs to figure out how to take her without anyone noticing. first and foremost, let’s talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had. ›› enemies to lovers ›› fated mates ›› one bed ›› the chosen one ›› elemental magic ›› actually good and shocking plot twists!!! ›› badass female lead ›› morally-grey love interest ›› fae/human war ›› force proximity ›› touch her and die ›› who did this to you? ›› captor/captive ›› praise k!nk (panting profusely) “you are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.” it’s been a long while since i read a book i liked this much. but i just loved this book. it set my soul ablaze. thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story and for blessing me with an eARC! i loved it so much that i immediately bought the paperback upon release! every aspect of this book was just beautiful. i was blown away by the way the world was described, the way feelings were portrayed, the way the elements were used in the fae’s magic. it just—AHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year! also the way he calls her “little storm” sets my heart on fire. this was a fast-paced read and if you are a lover of acotar, fbaa, deal with the elf king, or any other similar books, then please stop everything you’re doing and read this book right now. you won’t regret it. thank you again, jd linton, for giving me the privilege of reading your arc and for blessing this world with the world you created. <3 "something about him pulled me in, like a moth to a flame, and it felt as if i was just waiting for the inevitable burn that came with flying too close to the fire."

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!
