Rosenthal Studio Line – Antje Brüggemann-Breckwoldt
“Stillleben” Lidded Box (12.5 × 16 × 16 cm)
Germany, 1980s · Matte Porcelain · Unused Sample in Original Packaging
A rare sculptural lidded box from Rosenthal’s coveted *Stillleben* (“Still Life”) series, created in the 1980s by **Antje Brüggemann-Breckwoldt**, one of the most individual artistic voices of Rosenthal’s later Studio Line period.
This example is particularly exceptional: an unused factory sample preserved in its original Rosenthal packaging. Such uncirculated pieces are exceedingly scarce, especially within Studio Line’s sculptural collections.
The box showcases Brüggemann-Breckwoldt’s distinctive formal language—draped, textile-like reliefs travelling across the surface, crowned by a delicately modelled fruit element on the lid. The matte white porcelain heightens the sculptural presence, transforming functional storage into a small still-life sculpture. The interior rim retains the characteristic unglazed firing edge, a hallmark of handcrafted Studio Line precision.
About the Designer – Antje Brüggemann-Breckwoldt
Brüggemann-Breckwoldt’s work operates between sculpture and applied arts. Her porcelain forms often evoke frozen fabric, folds, and the quiet symbolism of classical still life, translated into a restrained modern idiom. Within the Rosenthal Studio Line canon, her pieces remain unmistakable—poetic, tactile, and conceptually grounded.
