BERLIN RETRO FINDS
Product description
This bisque porcelain vase duo, designed by the artist and poet Werner Scheib for Rosenthal Studio-Line was materialized in the 1960s, as the specific design of Rosenthal stamp incline. Standing at a statuesque 30 cm & 22 cm, the vase duo boasts a unique bisque porcelain composition—a type of unglazed porcelain renowned for its delicate texture, and soft matte finish. The vase's allure lay not only in its size and composition but in its distinctive design language, an iconic design of the Op Art movement.
The Rosenthal Studio-Line, revered for its commitment to innovation and collaboration with notable designers, provided the perfect canvas for Schreib's artistic vision. Founded in 1961, this avant-garde studio sought to challenge the norms of porcelain design by infusing it with modern sensibilities.
The Designer:
Werner Schreib (1925–1969) was a Berlin-born artist celebrated for his pioneering contributions to the realms of visual art and design. After studying at the Muthesius Art Academy in Kiel and the Werkkunstschule in Wiesbaden, Schreib honed his craft in etching under S.W. Hayter in Paris.
In 1964, Schreib's artistic versatility garnered him acclaim, winning awards at the 1st International Drawing in Darmstadt and the 1st Graphics Biennale in Krakow. However, it was his collaboration with Rosenthal that truly showcased his innovative spirit. Schreib's designs for Rosenthal fused artistry with functionality, elevating everyday objects to the realm of high art.
Beyond his visual pursuits, Schreib was also a prolific writer, composing prose and poetry that echoed the poetic sensibilities of his artistic vision. Werner Schreib's enduring legacy lies in his ability to blur the boundaries between art and design, leaving an indelible mark on the creative landscape of his time.
