AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant glossy white porcelain vase, crafted by the prestigious Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM), a historic Berlin manufactory founded in 1763 on the initiative of Frederick the Great and still regarded among the most important European porcelain manufactories.
The vase features a truncated-conical shape, of great geometric purity, set on a narrow base that broadens harmoniously toward the top. The result is a slender vase with a rigorous, minimalist character.
The surface, entirely white and unadorned, highlights the porcelain quality and the softness of the silhouette. The absence of ornamentation is particularly significant in KPM's production, which throughout the twentieth century developed a strong focus on pure, functional forms of modernist lineage: in the 1930s, under the direction of Günther von Pechmann, the manufactory was indeed influenced by the principles of Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) and modern design.
Excellent overall condition, minimal chip on the foot, invisible when the vase is resting, as shown in the photograph.
Dimensions: 16.5 x 20.5 cm.
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 artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
