Dear Bidders, thank you for your interest in my offer. The Rosenthal Core Vase is a popular porcelain design piece by designer Cédric Ragot, characterized by its organic shape reminiscent of cell division. The vases in the "Core" collection are based on primal forms from nature and resemble small sculptures. According to Rosenthal, each size represents a different stage in the development of the organic structure. Crafted in high-quality glazed porcelain, the form reflects Rosenthal’s mastery of traditional craftsmanship alongside modern artistic sensibilities. These pieces often make stunning centerpieces and are sought after by collectors of contemporary decorative art.
