Vtg MCM 1950s Raymond Lowry Rosenthal Germany CONFERENCE * BIRDS * Cup & Saucer

Description

Enlarge/zoom photos for detailed view and measurements. In very nice preowned vintage condition.
Lovely set of Rosenthal Continental China - a coffee cup and saucer designed by Raymond Loewy, in the difficult to find "Conference" pattern featuring mod stylized blue gray partridge family style/ sandpiper birds. Mid 20th c., Germany. Notice the bird graphic INSIDE the cup.
Would be a great addition if you have this pattern, but could also stand alone with other 50s-60s decor. Marked on back with Rosenthal R and signed with Loewy signature stamp, made in Germany.
Raymond Loewy 1893 – 1986 was a Franco–American industrial designer who achieved fame for the magnitude of his design efforts across a variety of industries. He was recognized for this by Time magazine and featured on its cover on October 31, 1949.
He spent most of his professional career in the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1938. Among his designs were the Shell, Exxon, TWA and the former BP logos, the Greyhound Scenicruiser bus, Coca-Cola vending machines, the Lucky Strike package, Coldspot refrigerators, the Studebaker Avanti and Champion, and the Air Force One livery. He was involved with numerous railroad designs, including the Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 and S-1 locomotives, the color scheme and Eagle motif for the first streamliners of the Missouri Pacific Railroad and a number of lesser known color scheme and car interior designs for other railroads. His career spanned seven decades.
The press referred to Raymond Loewy as The Man Who Shaped America, The Father of Streamlining and The Father of Industrial Design.
