Product description
Rosenthal Studio-Line “Vibrations” Vase Duo – Dieter Mankau – White & Silver – Sculptural Porcelain – Germany
An elegant two-piece vase ensemble from Rosenthal Studio-Line’s “Vibrations” series by Dieter Mankau, pairing a monumental white porcelain vase with a smaller sculptural silver counterpart.
The large vase, finished in glossy white porcelain, emphasizes the architectural clarity of the form. The textured surface creates subtle shadows that reveal the deep sculptural indentations characteristic of the series.
Beside it, the smaller vase in high-gloss silver porcelain introduces a striking reflective contrast. Its mirrored surface intensifies the sculptural relief and interacts dynamically with surrounding light, making the object almost kinetic in appearance.
Together, the two vases form a visually balanced composition that highlights both the purity of white porcelain and the dramatic presence of silver porcelain.
Designer
Dieter Mankau was among the innovative designers collaborating with Rosenthal Studio-Line, a pioneering design program that transformed porcelain into a medium for avant-garde sculptural expression.
His “Vibrations” design explores the interplay between repetition, depth, and reflection. The relief pattern produces a tactile and optical rhythm that changes with the viewing angle, creating the illusion of movement across the cylindrical body.
Within the broader history of Studio-Line, Mankau’s work stands alongside pieces by internationally recognized designers who helped redefine German porcelain design in the late 20th century.
Design
The “Vibrations” pattern is composed of repeating crater-like indentations that run vertically across the surface of the vase. This sculptural structure produces an effect reminiscent of energy waves or sound vibrations captured in porcelain.
When presented as a duo, the contrasting finishes amplify the design’s visual impact—white revealing the structure through shadow, silver through reflection.
