AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent and extremely elegant porcelain Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) vase, produced by the renowned German manufacturer Rosenthal in the Kronach factory (Bavaria).
This refined collectible dates from the early period of Rosenthal's art department (circa 1901-1927). The vase is underside stamped with the authentic, rare factory mark: the historic Rosenthal family coat of arms with the place name 'Kronach' in elegant cursive script.
The design of this vase breathes pure French and Belgian Art Nouveau influences and is attributed to the renowned designer Adolf Oppel. Centrally on the vase stands a mysterious and finely crafted female face in soft slip-relief. Her flowing, organic hairlines cascade beautifully over into the body of the vase.
The contrast between the matte, white porcelain relief and the glossy, soft-green (celadon-like) glaze is especially refined. The base is finished with a subtle, gold-colored trim.
The vase is in absolute top condition (mint condition). There are no damages, chips, restorations or hairlines. Also the gold-edged base and the delicate relief are completely intact and undamaged. See the close-up photos for a full impression of its museum-quality.
The vase is packed with extreme care, with professional protective materials, and fully insured with track & trace shipping.
