Dear Bidders, thank you for your interest in my offer. I'm offering here a set of sculptural porcelain vases from the Totem series designed by Ambrogio Pozzi for Rosenthal. Created in the 1980s, the design reflects the distinctive postmodern aesthetic of the period, combining geometric purity with a strong architectural presence. Each vase features a cylindrical base topped with a fan-shaped form decorated with rhythmic, stepped ridges that create striking light and shadow effects. The minimalist white porcelain highlights the sculptural quality of the pieces and emphasizes their graphic, almost totemic silhouette. Ambrogio Pozzi, an Italian designer known for his innovative work with porcelain, created several iconic designs for Rosenthal, one of Germany’s most renowned porcelain manufacturers. The Totem series is considered a characteristic example of late 20th-century European design, where functionality meets bold artistic expression. Elegant both individually and as a group, these vases function as decorative objects even without flowers, making them a striking addition to modern, postmodern, or minimalist interiors. SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS: Rosenthal, founded in 1879 in Selb (Germany), is known for high-quality porcelain and long standing collaborations with leading designers of the 20th century — theirs is a legacy of merging art and industrial design in timeless creations. Ambrogio Pozzi (born 1948, Italy) is an Italian architect and designer. He became known in the 1970s and 1980s for his experimental ceramic and porcelain designs. Pozzi collaborated with Rosenthal, creating sculptural objects characterized by strong geometry, architectural forms, and postmodern aesthetics. His works are today regarded as collectible examples of late 20th-century European design.
