Dorothy Hafner (born 1952) is an American ceramic artist known for her bold use of color, graphic geometry, and her role in introducing a distinctly American postmodern aesthetic to European porcelain. Hafner's work for Rosenthal in the 1980s marked a decisive shift toward postmodern color expression, blending the exuberance of the American Memphis era with German precision production. This vase is emblematic of that period: decorative without being overbearing, expressive yet restrained.
