Perfect for any home or collection! **The Designer:** Jan van der Vaart (1931-2000) was a pioneering Dutch ceramist celebrated for his geometric abstract style. His work significantly influenced post-war ceramics both in the Netherlands and internationally. Van der Vaart served as the head of the ceramic department at Gerrit Rietveld Academy from 1968 to 1993, where he imparted his innovative approach to generations of aspiring ceramicists. Beyond his educational role, Van der Vaart collaborated with renowned manufacturers such as Royal Leerdam and Rosenthal AG, where he created distinctive designs that merged functionality with avant-garde aesthetics. His ability to blend matte and glossy finishes, as seen in these vases, reflects his mastery of contrasting textures and forms. Van der Vaart's artistic legacy extends to prestigious museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, underscoring the enduring relevance and desirability of his creations among collectors and connoisseurs of modern ceramics. **The Manufacturer:** Rosenthal GmbH, founded in 1879 by Philipp Rosenthal, is a distinguished German porcelain manufacturer renowned for its commitment to quality and design innovation. Based in Selb, Bavaria, Rosenthal has a storied history of collaboration with leading artists and designers, creating timeless pieces that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. The company has been at the forefront of the porcelain industry, known for pushing the boundaries of design and functionality. Rosenthal's collaborations with artists like Jan van der Vaart reflect its dedication to fostering artistic creativity and producing pieces that are both functional and artistic masterpieces. The company's collections are celebrated worldwide and can be found in prestigious museums, underlining Rosenthal's role in shaping the evolution of modern porcelain. **Additional Information:** Jan van der Vaart's approach to ceramics was deeply influenced by the artistic movements of his time, particularly abstract art and geometric abstraction. His designs often explored the interplay of shape, texture, and colour, aiming to evoke a sense of dynamic movement and harmony within the static medium of porcelain. The corset-shaped silhouette of these vases not only highlights Van der Vaart's penchant for geometric forms but also underscores his interest in exploring human anatomy through abstract shapes. This distinctive design choice not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the vases but also invites viewers to ponder the intersection of art and functionality in everyday objects. These vases, crafted during Van der Vaart's tenure with Rosenthal AG, exemplify the quality craftsmanship and artistic vision that defined his career. Each piece bears the hallmark of his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to pushing the boundaries of ceramic artistry. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike, this curated duo of Black & White Rosenthal vases offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of ceramic history imbued with the innovative spirit of one of the 20th century's most influential ceramists.
