Product description
**Architectural Pairing: Two White Porcelain Vases by Fürstenberg, Models 1450/14 and 1449/14, West Germany, 1970s**
A quietly striking duo from Fürstenberg Porzellan — two sculptural vases that exemplify the cool precision and refined abstraction of 1970s West German design. Though distinct in form, they share a common visual language: pure white matte porcelain, softly architectural silhouettes, and an incised surface pattern of lines and circles that hints at order, rhythm, and the ghost of function.
Model **1450/14** is vertically elliptical, tapering gracefully at the sides; its counterpart, **1449/14**, is subtly more angular and grounded in its stance. Together, they form a visual counterpoint: one gently ascending, the other quietly anchoring. Their similarity in size and shared decorative language creates a calm dialogue of form — harmonious, minimal, and deeply tactile.
Each vase is marked on the base with the Fürstenberg manufacturer's stamp.
