Product description
**Rare Unikat Artist's Vase by Laura Fiume for Rosenthal – Atelier Model, 1990** **Description**: Presenting a unique and highly sought-after artist's vase, designed by the celebrated Italian artist Laura Fiume for the esteemed German porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal. This vase, created in 1990, stands as a remarkable example of Fiume's innovative approach to design, blending bold geometric patterns with the refined craftsmanship Rosenthal is known for. **About the Designer - Laura Fiume**: Laura Fiume, born in 1953, is an acclaimed Italian artist and designer, known for her vibrant and dynamic works that often blur the lines between fine art and functional design. Daughter of the renowned Italian painter Salvatore Fiume, Laura grew up in a creative environment that profoundly influenced her artistic vision. Her designs often incorporate striking color contrasts, geometric shapes, and playful compositions, elements that are beautifully exemplified in this vase. Fiume's collaboration with Rosenthal during the late 20th century brought her distinctive artistic style to a broader audience, resulting in a series of unique and collectible pieces. This vase is an atelier model, meaning it was a prototype created directly in the artist's workshop. Such pieces are rare and highly valued by collectors, as they provide insight into the designer's creative process. **Design and Features**: This hexagonal prism-shaped vase is characterized by its two large, asymmetrical, zigzag-patterned handles that add a sculptural quality to its form. The all-around decorative motif consists of geometric elements in a sophisticated palette of red, grey, brown, and gold, demonstrating Fiume's masterful use of color and form. - **Material**: High-quality porcelain - **Height**: 22.5 cm - **Width**: 27.5 cm - **Depth**: 16 cm - **Color**: Multicolored - Beige, Gold, Brown, Grey, Red **Condition**: This vintage piece is in excellent condition, retaining its original vibrancy with minimal signs of wear. As an atelier model, the vase is unsigned and unmarked, except for a handwritten identification on the partially unglazed base, which includes a combination of numbers, letters, and the date "27.05.(19)90." This further emphasizes its unique status as a prototype. **Provenance and Rarity**: Produced by Rosenthal, a name synonymous with luxury and quality in porcelain, this vase is a rare find. The absence of official markings and the handwritten notes on the base confirm that this was a model piece, making it an exclusive collector's item. Laura Fiume's collaboration with Rosenthal in the 1990s produced a limited number of pieces, and this vase is a testament to the innovative design language she brought to the iconic brand. **A Collector’s Gem**: This vase is not only a functional object but also a work of art, reflecting Laura Fiume's distinctive style and her contribution to the world of design. It’s perfect for collectors of mid-century modern and post-modern design, as well as those who appreciate unique, artist-made pieces. The vase’s bold design and exquisite craftsmanship make it a standout piece in any collection or interior setting. **Don’t Miss the Opportunity to Own a Piece of Design History!**
