AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid porcelain vase produced by Rosenthal, designed by H. T. Baumann.
This very elegant modernist Op Art-style design is produced by Rosenthal in Germany around the 1970s. The bold, sharp design was created by HT Baumann, who devised for the vase a black background on which the gold decoration stands out.
This pattern is one of the many designs of German porcelain from that period, characterized by very bold and striking "op-art" motifs.
Baumann joined Philipp Rosenthal in 1954 and worked at the Rosenthal factory and other German porcelain factories until the seventies as a freelance designer. In 1969 he was appointed to the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India, and in 1985 he became a professor at the University of the Arts, Berlin.
His projects, award-winning, have had a strong influence on the German design scene. His work is characterized by clean, timeless forms, with high functionality.
A rare object that tells, in a vase, all the vicissitudes of postmodern design. Signed at the base.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
