Product description
Rosenthal Studio-Line “Lamina Rot” Vase & Box Trio Décor: Helmut Drexler Germany, 1970–1973 Satin porcelain with metallic lamina glaze A rare and visually commanding Rosenthal Studio-Line trio in the highly sought-after “Lamina Rot” décor by Helmut Drexler. This set comprises two vases and a lidded box from the early 1970s — a pivotal period in which Drexler transformed porcelain surface into a field of metallic experimentation. The Lamina series is among the most expressive finishes produced by Rosenthal during this era. The Ensemble 1. Cylindrical Vase (1970) Height: 16 cm Diameter: 6 cm A strict, architectural cylinder — pure verticality. The uninterrupted surface allows the lamina structure to unfold as a continuous red-and-gold field. 2. Tapered Vase – Model 2747 (1971) Height: 27 cm Diameter: 6.5 cm An elegant elongated silhouette with subtle shoulder and narrowing neck. The vertical form intensifies the molten gold flow effect, creating dramatic light reflection. 3. Lidded Box (1973) Height: 4.5 cm Diameter: 6 cm A compact counterpoint — grounded, minimal, precise. The lid aligns seamlessly with the body, demonstrating Rosenthal’s technical control over complex metallic surfaces. All pieces marked Rosenthal Studio-Line, Germany. The “Lamina Rot” Surface Lamina Rot is not printed décor — it is a metallic lamination effect layered over deep red grounds. The surface evokes: • molten enamel • cracked lacquer • Byzantine gold tesserae • volcanic cellular structures Under light, the gold shifts between matte warmth and reflective brilliance, while the red oscillates between oxblood and vermilion. Each piece carries individual variation — a hallmark of the Lamina technique. Condition Very good to excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or restorations. Gold surface evenly preserved. Minor age-related traces consistent with careful display. Design Context Helmut Drexler (1927–2016), decoration director at Rosenthal during its most experimental Studio-Line period, pushed porcelain beyond graphic modernism into material alchemy. The early 1970s Lamina series represents: • Metallic glaze innovation • Post-Bauhaus modernism meeting baroque intensity • Controlled surface experimentation • Limited production decorative objects This trio captures that moment fully — vertical, elongated, and contained forms unified by one of Rosenthal’s most dramatic finishes. Collector’s Positioning This is not merely decorative porcelain. It offers: • Cohesive three-piece Lamina Rot set • Early production years (1970–73) • Model-documented form (2747) • Strong sculptural height variation • High display impact Lamina Rot examples, particularly in complete groupings, are significantly rarer than standard Studio-Line editions. Ideal for collectors of: • German modernist porcelain • Rosenthal Studio-Line • 1970s metallic surface design • High-impact interior statements Displayed together, the trio reads as a unified sculptural installation. _____________________________________________________ GENERAL INFORMATION Please explore our profile for more vintage vases and Studio-Line pieces.
