Rosenthal - Vase - Porcelain

The exceptional vase is an exquisite fusion of avant-garde design and exceptional craftsmanship. It was produced by Rosenthal Studio Linie in Germany.

This elegant porcelain vase was designed by the renowned Dutch ceramicist Johan van Loon, featuring his characteristic wavy, sculptural form, paired with Helmut Drexler's Eozyn glaze, which gives it a dazzling, opalescent shine.

The vase is a work of art that enjoys immense popularity among collectors, reflecting the innovative spirit of European design in the 1970s.

Designer: Johan Gerard van Loon

Johan van Loon (1934–2019) was a visionary Dutch artist, known for combining ceramic sculpture with textile design. After completing studies in textile design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and further refining his skills at the Konstfack University in Stockholm, he became a pioneer of modern ceramics. His distinctive approach to form and surface is reflected in works for prestigious brands such as Rosenthal. Van Loon’s experiments with porcelain led to groundbreaking projects that showcased movement and fluidity in the static material. In addition to his ceramic work, van Loon was a respected textile designer and professor who significantly influenced subsequent generations of artists through teaching at the ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands. His works are held in major collections, including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

Decorator: Helmut Drexler

Helmut Drexler was an influential figure at Rosenthal, valued for his mastery of ceramic surface decoration. The glaze technique he employed—Eozyn—visible on these vases, creates a hypnotic interplay of opalescent colors where shades of gold, violet, and green harmonize. The Eozyn technique involves adding metal oxides to the glaze, giving surfaces a distinctive sheen reminiscent of the early light of dawn—hence the name “Eos.”
