Product description
Two fine-porcelain vases combining the folded, softly undulating forms of Dutch ceramicist Johan van Loon with Helmut Drexler’s iridescent Eosin decoration. Shifting tones of gold, violet, turquoise, rose and green move across the satin surfaces, giving each complementary form a different appearance as the light changes.
The duo works particularly well on a console, sideboard or open shelf, preferably against a neutral background. Natural or directional light brings out the changing metallic colours, while the difference in height creates a balanced arrangement without the need for flowers.
Dutch ceramic and textile artist Johan van Loon (1934-2020) began producing editions for Rosenthal in 1980. His porcelain designs often translate methods associated with fabric—folding, overlapping and pleating—into firmly defined three-dimensional forms. These two vases are characteristic of that approach and belong to his later work for Rosenthal Studio-Line.
German porcelain painter and designer Helmut Drexler (1927-2016) was known for developing experimental metallic and iridescent decorations for Rosenthal. His finishes, including Karat, Goldfeuer and Platinnebel, expanded the visual possibilities of porcelain and became a distinctive part of the Studio-Line programme.
