Product description
**Rosenthal Studio-Line Fazzoletto Vase by Claus Josef Riedel, Porcelaine Noire, 1970s – Asymmetrical Elegance** **Description:** Presenting an iconic *Fazzoletto* vase designed by Claus Josef Riedel for Rosenthal’s *Studio-Line* collection, in the striking **Porcelaine Noire** finish, dating to the 1970s. Crafted in black bisque porcelain, this vase is a testament to Riedel's mastery of asymmetry, inspired by the flowing shape of a handkerchief caught mid-fall. The juxtaposition of the matte black exterior with the glossy interior elevates its sculptural beauty, offering a bold, modern aesthetic perfect for contemporary spaces. **Key Features:** - **Designer**: Claus Josef Riedel - **Manufacturer**: Rosenthal *Studio-Line* - **Period**: 1970s - **Material**: Black bisque porcelain (*Porcelaine Noire*) - **Finish**: Matte black exterior, glossy black interior - **Design Style**: Asymmetrical, modernist, sculptural - **Classification**: 2. Wahl (Second Choice) **Dimensions**: - **Height**: Approx. 25 cm (9.8 in) - **Width**: Varies due to the organic form (Approx. 16 cm or 6.3 in at the widest point) - **Depth**: Approx. 10 cm (4 in) **Condition**: This vase is in **excellent vintage condition**, with no chips or cracks, but it is marked as "2. Wahl" (second choice) by Rosenthal due to slight imperfections that are characteristic of their high-quality control standards. These minor flaws, however, do not detract from the vase’s aesthetic appeal or functionality and remain virtually unnoticeable in daily use or display. **Design and Craftsmanship**: - **Claus Josef Riedel**: Known for his avant-garde approach to design, Claus Josef Riedel created this iconic vase in collaboration with Rosenthal during the 1970s. His design captures movement in porcelain, with its flowing, organic folds resembling a handkerchief in motion. The contrast between the matte and glossy finishes gives the piece depth, while the all-black color adds a dramatic, sophisticated touch. - **Rosenthal *Studio-Line***: Rosenthal’s *Studio-Line* was an experimental and artistic branch of their porcelain production, featuring renowned designers like Riedel. The *Porcelaine Noire* finish is rare and gives this vase a distinct, bold look that sets it apart from its white counterpart, making it a coveted piece for collectors of modernist porcelain. **Historical Significance**: During the 1970s, Rosenthal’s *Studio-Line* challenged the traditional boundaries of porcelain design, blending art and functionality. The *Fazzoletto* vase, particularly in the rare *Porcelaine Noire* version, epitomizes this philosophy, with its sculptural form and high-contrast finishes. Claus Josef Riedel’s innovative design approach further solidifies this piece’s place in design history, making it a must-have for collectors of mid-century and modernist design. **Usage**: This striking vase is perfect for display as a standalone art object or as part of a curated collection. Its dynamic shape and sleek black color make it ideal for minimalist and modern interiors. Whether you place it on a mantel, console table, or dining room centerpiece, this piece commands attention with its unique form and high-contrast finishes. **Additional Information**: - **Packaging and Shipping**: The vase will be carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery. International shipping is available upon request. - **Returns**: Not accepted due to the vintage nature of the item. Please review the detailed photos and description for your satisfaction.
