Product description
Rosenthal Künstlertasse Nr. 28 by Ernst Fuchs – Sculptural Porcelain Cup with Lid – Germany
An exceptional artist-designed porcelain cup from the celebrated Künstlertasse series by Rosenthal, created by Ernst Fuchs as edition number 28. Far more than a functional cup, this piece is conceived as a miniature sculptural object—somewhere between a ceremonial vessel, an art object, and a painterly manifesto in porcelain.
The richly decorated surface unfolds in a dreamlike floral and ornamental vocabulary, unmistakably rooted in Fuchs’ visual universe. Lush blossoms, flowing organic lines, and radiant colours are arranged against a luminous ground, creating a sense of movement and symbolic abundance. The form itself is architectural and almost chalice-like, elevated by wing-like side elements that give the cup a distinctly sculptural presence. Topped with a domed lid, the object reads as a self-contained artwork rather than a conventional piece of tableware.
Design Context – Ernst Fuchs
Ernst Fuchs was a central figure of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, known for his visionary, mythological imagery and highly refined symbolism. His collaboration with Rosenthal allowed him to translate his painterly and graphic language into three-dimensional porcelain, resulting in some of the most expressive and collectible pieces of the Studio-Line artist editions. Künstlertasse Nr. 28 is a striking example of this crossover between fine art and applied art, where painting, sculpture, and craft merge seamlessly.
