This bisque porcelain vase duo, designed by Cuno Fischer for Rosenthal Studio-Line was materialized in the 1960s, as the specific design of Rosenthal stamp incline. Standing at a statuesque 30 cm & 22 cm, the vase duo boasts a unique bisque porcelain composition—a type of unglazed porcelain renowned for its delicate texture, and soft matte finish. The vase's allure lay not only in its size and composition but in its distinctive design language, an iconic design of the Op Art movement. The Rosenthal Studio-Line, revered for its commitment to innovation and collaboration with notable designers, provided the perfect canvas for Fischer's artistic vision. Founded in 1961, this avant-garde studio sought to challenge the norms of porcelain design by infusing it with modern sensibilities. The Designer: **Cuno Fischer: Artistic Visionary** Cuno Fischer, born on November 26, 1914, in Wuppertal, Germany, was a prolific artist and stage designer whose career spanned tumultuous times in German history. Studying graphic design and painting in the early 1930s, Fischer's artistic journey was briefly interrupted by military service during World War II. Following the war, he became renowned for his innovative stage designs in Berlin and later served as chief stage designer at the Landestheater Schwaben in Memmingen. Fischer's collaboration with Rosenthal, a prestigious German porcelain manufacturer, showcased his versatility and creativity, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern flair. His designs, ranging from abstract patterns to whimsical illustrations, left an indelible mark on the decorative arts landscape. Cuno Fischer's legacy endures as a testament to the transformative power of creativity in times of adversity, inspiring generations of artists and admirers alike. *** Designer: Cuno Fischer Manufacturer: Rosenthal Production period: 1960s Country of Manufacture: Germany West German Pottery WGP Style: Vintage, Mid-Century Modern, Op Art Identifying Marks: This piece has an attribution mark of the manufacturer as for signature of the designer.
