Rosenthal - Hans Stangl - Figure - Madonna - 28 cm - Porcelain

Suggested Listing Title:
Mid-Century Modern Rosenthal Porcelain Madonna Sculpture by Hans Stangl (1953) - 28 cm
Listing Description:
Exquisite and elegant porcelain sculpture representing the Madonna (Virgin Mary), an iconic piece of Mid-Century Modern (MCM) design.
This figure was designed in 1953 by the renowned German sculptor Hans Stangl (1888–1963) for the prestigious Rosenthal porcelain manufactory, as part of their select art department (Kunstabteilung). Active primarily in Munich, Stangl was celebrated for his ability to synthesize classic subjects into avant-garde, abstract lines during the post-war era.
Iconographic & Stylistic Details:
The sculpture stands out for its minimalist silhouette and extreme geometric stylization. The Virgin's cloak envelops her face in a fluid, organic curve, creating a beautiful interplay of negative space and vertical volumes. It features a striking light gray finish with an intentional, finely execution crackle glaze (Craquelé-Glasur), which contrasts harmoniously with the smooth, oval base in white porcelain. The bottom features the authentic original green Rosenthal Germany hallmark.
Exact Dimensions:
• Height: 28 cm / 11 inches (This is the large, highly sought-after version by collectors).
Condition:
Vintage. In very good condition with no structural cracks, chips, or repairs. The crazing effect on the surface is entirely intentional and part of the factory's original crackle glaze design.
