Product description
**Rosenthal Studio-Line Fazzoletto Vase by Claus Josef Riedel, 1970s – Sculptural Porcelain Masterpiece** **Description:** Presenting an iconic *Fazzoletto* vase designed by Claus Josef Riedel for Rosenthal's *Studio-Line* collection, dating to the 1970s. This exceptional white porcelain vase is a study in asymmetry and fluidity, taking inspiration from the Italian word "fazzoletto" meaning "handkerchief." The vase mimics the flowing, organic form of a handkerchief suspended in mid-air, captured in crisp porcelain. It is both a decorative object and a functional piece, exuding the elegance and craftsmanship that Rosenthal is renowned for. **Key Features:** - **Designer**: Claus Josef Riedel - **Manufacturer**: Rosenthal *Studio-Line* - **Period**: 1970s - **Material**: Fine white bisque porcelain - **Finish**: Matte exterior, glossy interior - **Design Style**: Modernist, sculptural, asymmetrical - **Model**: *Fazzoletto* Vase (Handkerchief style) **Dimensions**: - **Height**: Approx. 30 cm (11.8 in) - **Width**: Varies based on the organic form (Approx. 18 cm or 7 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**: A member of the famous Riedel glassmaking family, Claus Josef Riedel is best known for his pioneering work in glass design, but this collaboration with Rosenthal highlights his versatility as a designer. His *Fazzoletto* vase exemplifies his talent for capturing movement and asymmetry in material form. The folds and curves of the vase evoke a sense of fluidity, defying the rigidity typically associated with porcelain. - **Rosenthal *Studio-Line***: Founded in 1961, the *Studio-Line* collection brought together renowned artists and designers to create avant-garde porcelain designs. This vase stands as a perfect example of the innovation and artistic freedom Rosenthal encouraged, blending fine art and functional design. **Historical Significance**: The 1970s saw Rosenthal at the forefront of modernist porcelain design, with its *Studio-Line* series pushing boundaries in both form and function. Claus Josef Riedel's contributions to this series, though lesser-known compared to his glass designs, are rare treasures in the realm of porcelain. His *Fazzoletto* vase is a tribute to the creative zeitgeist of the time, merging sculptural artistry with the practical demands of fine craftsmanship. **Usage**: Whether displayed as a standalone sculpture or used as a functional vase, this piece elevates any space with its artistic presence. Its organic curves and modernist flair make it a striking centerpiece for a dining table, mantel, or gallery display. It’s also a must-have for collectors of mid-century modern design and lovers of high-quality European porcelain. **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.
