A 23.5 cm-high porcelain Art Deco vase by Rosenthal’s art division in Selb-Plößberg, Germany, dating from 1930 and in like-new, unused condition.
Description from the seller
This description concerns a fine Art Deco porcelain vase with a floral decoration in 24-karat gold, created by the renowned German manufacturer Rosenthal, specifically its artistic department in Selb. This piece stands out for its naturalistic modeling and underglaze decoration, hand-painted with delicate brushstrokes.
In 1879, after returning from an experience in the United States of America, Philipp Rosenthal decided to open a porcelain-decoration workshop in Erkersreuth, near Selb, in Bavaria. In 1907, the company began marking every product with its own name[1]. The following year, Rosenthal acquired Thomas, a brand later aimed at a younger audience. As a Jew, Philipp Rosenthal came under pressure from the Nazis and left the management of the company in 1934; the company nevertheless continued to expand during the First and Second World Wars.
In 1950, his son Philip took the reins of the company, which in 1961 launched Rosenthal Studio-Line, a brand dedicated to projects and collaborations with renowned artists, architects, and designers.
The Rosenthal meets Versace line was launched in 1993.
In 1997, Rosenthal AG was acquired by Waterford Wedgwood, which acquired the Hutschenreuther brand, founded in 1814, in 2003.
