Product description
Rosenthal Studio-Line “Plissée” Trio by Ambrogio Pozzi – Glossy Porcelain Vase Ensemble & Lidded Box in White–Blue–Grey A refined sculptural trio from Rosenthal Studio-Line’s celebrated “Plissée” series, designed by the visionary Italian architect and designer Ambrogio Pozzi. This curated ensemble — comprising two vases of different proportions and a compact lidded box — beautifully demonstrates Pozzi’s mastery of rhythmic pleated form translated into luminous porcelain. Executed in Rosenthal’s elegant white, blue, and soft grey tonal palette, the pieces move beyond pure functional ceramics into the territory of architectural object design. The glossy glaze accentuates every fold and pleat, creating shifting optical depth reminiscent of folded silk, couture drapery, or light moving across fluted architecture. Unlike the more frequently encountered monochrome white editions, this chromatic version possesses a richer sculptural presence: the blue and grey nuances intensify the relief structure and give the surfaces an almost atmospheric quality. Included in the Trio Plissée Vase – Model 3742/12 Rosenthal Studio-Line, Germany Dimensions: • Height: 12 cm • Width: 10.5 cm • Depth: 10.5 cm A compact architectural vessel with deep vertical pleating and softly faceted transitions. The glossy white-blue glaze enhances the illusion of folded textile frozen into porcelain. Plissée Vase – Tall Version Rosenthal Studio-Line, Germany Design year: circa 1985 Dimensions: • Height: 15 cm • Width: 9 cm • Depth: 9.5 cm The taller vase introduces a more elongated silhouette, emphasizing the verticality of Pozzi’s pleated geometry. Particularly elegant when displayed beside the lower form, the two vases create a harmonious dialogue of proportion and rhythm. Plissée Lidded Box Rosenthal Studio-Line, Germany Dimensions: • Height: 6.5 cm • Width: 9 cm • Depth: 9 cm A jewel-like porcelain container with sharply articulated pleated walls and a perfectly integrated lid. Functional yet unmistakably sculptural, it recalls miniature architectural volumes or folded ceremonial objects. Design & Artistic Context Ambrogio Pozzi (1931–2022) was among the most refined interpreters of postwar Italian design. Trained as both architect and industrial designer, he developed a visual language balancing geometry, sensuality, and disciplined elegance. His collaborations with Rosenthal Studio-Line rank among the most sophisticated examples of late-20th-century European porcelain design. In the “Plissée” series, Pozzi transforms the softness of fabric folds into crisp, repeating architectural relief — porcelain behaving almost like pleated textile. The series reflects broader dialogues within 1970s–1980s design culture: • postmodern reinterpretations of ornament • the intersection of fashion and architecture • the elevation of functional objects into sculptural compositions Material & Finish • Finest Rosenthal porcelain • High-gloss glazed finish • Colours: white, blue, and subtle grey tonal transitions • Strong interplay of shadow and reflected light across the pleated surfaces Condition All three pieces remain in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The glossy surfaces are exceptionally well preserved, with only minimal traces of age and handling consistent with careful ownership. Why This Trio Stands Out • Rare curated three-piece “Plissée” ensemble • Uncommon white-blue-grey colourway • Two complementary vase proportions creating sculptural dialogue • Combines Italian postmodern elegance with Rosenthal’s technical perfection • Objects that feel simultaneously textile-like, architectural, and minimal • Ideal for collectors of Rosenthal Studio-Line, Italian design, Memphis-era aesthetics, or sculptural porcelain Displayed together, the pieces compose space almost musically: repetition, rhythm, proportion, and pause. The ensemble possesses a quiet theatricality — subtle yet unmistakably sophisticated. A luminous and sculptural chapter of Rosenthal’s postmodern design legacy.
