Product description
**Natale Sapone for Rosenthal Studio Line – Black Porcelain Vase with Metallic Ornaments, West Germany, 1960s–70s**
Limited edition 279/750 signed
A striking example of mid-century German porcelain artistry, this cylindrical vase by Natale Sapone for Rosenthal's avant-garde *Studio Line* channels a refined drama through its color palette and composition. Against a deep black ground, cascading abstract ornamentation in silver, gold, and copper metallics creates a dynamic visual rhythm — gestural yet controlled, spontaneous yet deeply intentional.
The piece exemplifies the postwar moment in which art and industry merged in bold new forms. Sapone’s design draws on painterly abstraction and the language of metal leaf and gilding, lending this vase an almost alchemical allure.
Marked on the base with the green *Rosenthal studio-linie GERMANY* backstamp and numbered 3566/22.
