Magnificent writing set made of several individual porcelain pieces, made at Rosenthal Art Department around 1925. The shape of this was created by Hans Küster, and features the Semiramis motif, a decoration created by Kurt Wendler, around 1923. The stylization of the motifs (palm trees) reveal an evident influence of the Futurism, common to so many other pieces of his. Hans Küster (1899-1963) was a modeler and sculptor. He worked for the German Rosenthal porcelain factory from 1913 to 1928, creating animals and grotesque figures, decorative and utilitarian tableware. Kurt Wendler (1893-1980) was a talented self-taught painter, photographer and graphic artist. Discovered by Philip Rosenthal, who appreciated his work, he ended up creating decorations for Rosenthal in 1919, where he worked regularly as a free artist from 1920 to 1930. Multifaceted artist, as a designer, he conceived, in addition to decorations for porcelain, rugs, wallpaper, patterns for fabrics and other projects. Pre-war porcelain creations aroused increasing interest and gained him fame. His unique decorations are easily recognizable and highly sought after by museums and collectors.
