The Rosenthal Studio-Line Tac 02 modern dinnerware is an extension into a complete set of dishware using the shapes provided by Gropius in his tea service design. The Rosenthal dinner plates in all white, with their flat round surfaces, bring an elegant minimalism to the table. So simple and clean, the Tac 02 white porcelain dinnerware does not compete, and consequently offers a flexibility in choices for flatware and glassware. The handles on the cups and teapot are all Gropius which are reflected in the shapes of the vegetable bowls and the Tac 02 glassware. While porcelain is very durable and the Rosenthal Tac 02 is useable as every day dishware, it has refined beauty that allows it to be fine china dinnerware. The Tac 02 is made of a white glazed porcelain and is dishwasher and microwave safe. The Tac 01 tea service, famously designed by the founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius, inspired the Tac 02 dinnerware.
