ABOUT PRODUCTID 14338
This porcelain tureen from the Schönwald 511 series, designed by Heinz Löffelhardt in Germany in the late 1950s for Porzellanfabrik Schönwald, presents a distinctive example of postwar modernist aesthetics. Measuring 18 cm in height and 23 cm in diameter, the piece features a gently tapered silhouette typical for mid-century design, narrowing elegantly from the broad rim down to a smaller base. Smoothly integrated, lightly upturned handles accentuate the practical roots of the form, while a conical lid—crowned by a sculptural, expanding knob—completes the composition. The crisp white porcelain body is adorned with a cool blue geometric motif characteristic of the 'Adria' version: vertical bands intersected by subtle, horizontal white lines, adding a dynamic, textured effect. The porcelain surface is glossy and fine, every element—handle, lid, and body—original and intact, reflecting the 'Gute Form' principle of functional clarity paired with understated artistry. State of preservation: very good, with no visible damage or signs of wear; all original elements are present.This tureen speaks in the voice of 1950s German modernism, striving for clarity and tranquility, reflecting a new approach to everyday rituals where design enters even the most familiar gestures. The porcelain body embodies care for quality and the dignity of good craftsmanship, while the cool blue geometric band carries the optimism and freshness associated with a hopeful, postwar Europe. The unique knob and flowing handles seem to invite a calm, collected presence at the table—signaling a moment to pause, serve, and appreciate simple beauty.This vessel could be displayed on a dining table alongside contemporary, understated serving
