Product description
Rosenthal Studio-Line Sculptural Porcelain Vase Duo – Uta Feyl “Memphis” & Ambrogio Pozzi “Totem”, Germany A striking and highly sophisticated Rosenthal Studio-Line porcelain duo bringing together two distinct yet deeply complementary visions of postmodern European design: • Uta Feyl’s monumental “Memphis” vase — asymmetrical, architectural, and dramatically sculptural • Ambrogio Pozzi’s compact “Totem” vessel — geometric, ceremonial, and ornamented with refined gold detailing Together, the pair creates a compelling dialogue between monumentality and intimacy, restraint and decoration, silhouette and symbol. Executed in matte black porcelain with subtle contrasts of texture and surface, the duo embodies Rosenthal Studio-Line’s exceptional ability to transform porcelain into contemporary sculptural language. The contrast in scale enhances the conversation between the objects: Feyl’s large angular form rises like an abstract architectural fragment, while Pozzi’s compact semicircular vessel introduces rhythm, ornament, and a distinctly Mediterranean graphic sensibility. Details • Vase 1: “Memphis” by Uta Feyl Manufacturer: Rosenthal Studio-Line Origin: Germany Period: 1980s Material: Matte black porcelain Height: 23.5 cm Width: 14.5 cm Depth: 8 cm • Vase 2: “Totem” by Ambrogio Pozzi Manufacturer: Rosenthal Studio-Line Origin: Germany Material: Matte black porcelain with gold decoration Height: 7.5 cm Width: 16.5 cm Depth: 7 cm Condition Both pieces remain in very good vintage condition with only minimal traces of age and handling consistent with careful use. The matte surfaces are beautifully preserved, and the gold decoration on the Pozzi vase remains crisp and vibrant. Design & Artistic Context Uta Feyl belongs to the important generation of ceramic artists who expanded porcelain beyond traditional vessel-making into sculptural abstraction. Her “Memphis” vase reflects the influence of late modernist and postmodern architectural language: asymmetry, tension, stepped geometries, and strong silhouette. The ribbed rear section creates subtle optical movement while emphasizing the object’s verticality and structural rhythm. Ambrogio Pozzi approached design from a different perspective. One of Italy’s most celebrated industrial and ceramic designers, Pozzi combined rigorous geometry with symbolic ornament and playful refinement. His “Totem” series distills archetypal ceremonial forms into minimalist sculptural objects. The concentric gold motifs recall both ancient decorative systems and the graphic language of 1980s Italian design. Seen together, the duo becomes almost theatrical — like two sculptural personalities sharing the same monochrome stage. About Rosenthal Studio-Line Rosenthal Studio-Line became internationally influential through collaborations with avant-garde architects, ceramicists, artists, and industrial designers. During the 1970s and 1980s especially, the company produced some of Europe’s most ambitious contemporary porcelain objects, bridging fine art, sculpture, and functional design. Both Feyl and Pozzi represent Rosenthal’s commitment to experimental form and intellectual design culture during this period. Collector’s Perspective Black matte Rosenthal porcelain remains particularly sought after for its sculptural quality and sophisticated visual presence. This pairing stands out through the dialogue between German postmodern architecture and Italian graphic minimalism — two distinct yet harmonious interpretations of late-20th-century design. A museum-worthy duo of sculptural porcelain — bold, refined, and unmistakably Rosenthal. GENERAL INFORMATION Please explore our profile for more vintage vases!
