The Danish artist Björn Wiinblad decided to transfer his favourite opera "Zauberflöte" by Mozart into the relief of porcelain. A service has been designed, each piece with a different scene from the Mozart opera. All pieces carry on the underside the text of the opera libretto of the scene depicted in the relevant porcelain relief, written in Björn Wiinblad´s ornamental handwriting and decorated with gold.⁠
This vase says: "(2. Aufzug, 19. Auftritt). Nicht wahr, Tamino, ich kann auch schweigen!"⁠
A special firing technique had to be developed to make this most lavish and expensive porcelain of Rosenthal.⁠
