Dear Bidders, I'm offering here a straking hand - painted collection of 4 vases, candleholder and small bowl designed by Drexler for Rosenthal in the second half of the 20th century. This artistic series is characterised by bold, minimalist forms and a richly textured, hand-painted surface in earthy brown and gold tones. Each piece was individually hand-finished, resulting in subtle variations that make every object unique. SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS: Helmut Drexler was an industrial/designer-artist active in Rosenthal’s later experimental period. His work for Rosenthal emphasises sculptural, almost architectural silhouettes paired with expressive surface treatments — a fusion of functional design and studio-like finishing that was typical for several limited art lines of the 1960s–70s. Because pieces were hand-decorated, they show individual nuances and are sought after by collectors who value studio craftsmanship within a major manufacturer’s production. Rosenthal is one of Germany’s most renowned porcelain manufacturers, celebrated for collaborations with leading designers and for blurring the line between applied art and functional design. This set is a fine example of German modernist studio production and will appeal to collectors of Rosenthal and post-war decorative arts.
