Product description
Rosenthal “Porcelaine Noire” Bowl by Jan van der Vaart & Helmut Drexler, c. 1990
Artist: Jan van der Vaart
Decoration: Helmut Drexler, “Rose-Gold-Lüster”
Manufacturer: Rosenthal Studio-Line, Germany
Dimensions: Approx. 28.5 x 28.5 x 11 cm
Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
A rare and striking piece from Rosenthal’s renowned *Studio-Line*, this black porcelain bowl is a refined example of late 20th-century design collaboration between two influential figures: Dutch ceramist *Jan van der Vaart* and German decorator *Helmut Drexler*. Crafted circa 1990, the bowl combines van der Vaart’s hallmark geometric clarity with Drexler’s hand-painted rose-gold lustre rim—a minimalist object with a touch of opulence.
Jan van der Vaart (1931–2000), a leading voice in post-war ceramic modernism, is celebrated for his architectural forms and constructivist aesthetics. His works reside in major institutions such as MoMA and the V&A. In this bowl, his clean-lined ethos meets Drexler’s decorative finesse, resulting in a piece that is both sculptural and functional.
Rosenthal’s *Porcelaine Noire* line stands as a testament to the brand’s philosophy: merging fine craftsmanship with avant-garde design. This piece exemplifies the timeless quality for which the manufacturer is famed, offering both collectors and aesthetes a work of enduring sophistication.
Additional notes:
- Handmade and hand-decorated
- Original studio production, not a reproduction
- Rare on the market, especially in this exceptional condition
An ideal acquisition for collectors of modernist ceramics, lovers of Bauhaus-influenced design, or anyone with a penchant for dramatic, elegant tableware.
