Product description
Vintage Porcelain Vase Trio by Johan van Loon for Rosenthal Studio Linie– Helmut Drexler Decor
This unique vase trio showcases an exquisite combination of avant-garde design and exceptional craftsmanship, produced by Rosenthal Studio Linie in Germany. Designed by the renowned Dutch ceramicist Johan van Loon, this fine porcelain set features an undulating, sculptural form paired with Helmut Drexler's signature eosin glaze, resulting in a dazzling, iridescent luster.
The vases are in excellent vintage condition, with only minor signs of patina consistent with age and use as decorative pieces. These are highly collectible works of art, embodying the innovative spirit of 1970s European design.
The Designer: Johan Gerard van Loon
Johan van Loon (1934–2019) was a visionary Dutch artist, known for bridging the gap between ceramic sculpture and textile design. After studying textile design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and further honing his skills at Konstfack University in Stockholm, he became one of the pioneers in modern ceramics. His unique approach to form and surface is reflected in his works for prestigious brands like Rosenthal. Van Loon's experimentation with porcelain led to groundbreaking designs, capturing movement and fluidity in static material.
In addition to his work in ceramics, van Loon was a celebrated textile designer and professor, significantly influencing the next generation of artists through his teaching at ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands. His pieces are part of major collections, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
The Decorator: Helmut Drexler
Helmut Drexler was an influential figure at Rosenthal, celebrated for his mastery of ceramic surface decoration. His use of the eosin glazing technique, as seen in these vases, creates a mesmerizing play of iridescent colors, with hues of gold, violet, and green blending harmoniously. The eosin technique involves adding metallic oxides to the glaze, giving the surfaces their signature luster, reminiscent of dawn’s early light—hence the name "Eos."
