AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Modernist ceramic vase in excellent condition (I do not mark it as new due to minimal signs of patina from normal use and a small dot of internal color smearing; no scratches or chips on the surface; the base shows normal signs of use—please look closely at the photos). From the Studio-Linie series designed by the renowned designer Johan van Loon, a Dutch ceramist and textile artist whose works were produced in only a few copies by Rosenthal and are therefore rare (especially in this optimal condition given the shape). A substantial collection of van Loon’s works is held in prestigious museums such as Boijmans; this piece was designed around 1985.
The vase features an organic, asymmetric form, with a raised, undulating surface inspired by the compositions of Zen gardens. The surface is glazed and shaded in various tones of brown, purple beige, and blue, and evokes the Hebrew letter Aleph, a symbol of infinity.
It will be shipped in a reinforced box or preferably a double cardboard box with lots of bubble wrap and protective foam or similar for the fragile parts.
Ships within the European Union and exclusively within the European Union.
