ABOUT PRODUCTID 14979
This ceramic vase designed by Johann Van Loon for Rosenthal studio-line in 1985 exemplifies the finesse of 1980s German design. Its form is based on a softly contoured, gently deformed quadrilateral with a wide, stable base (14 cm) and a height of 24 cm. The color composition is considered and complex: cool blues merge smoothly into subdued burgundy and violet, enhancing the organic fluidity of the object. The surface presents a matte to satin finish, while decorative, undulating lines in a lighter hue evoke both Japanese zen gardens and modernist topography. There are no additional handles or embellishments; the entire composition is integral to the form and pattern. Visible craquelure on the glaze is intentionally designed, serving as part of the artistic concept rather than a sign of wear. The condition is described as very good, with no damage or flaws.
This vase resonates with the spirit of formal exploration typical of late modernism and the expressive design of the 1980s. The artist invokes the idea of ‘endlessness,’ symbolized by the Hebrew letter Aleph—lines and colors seem to flow, as if intending to stretch beyond the boundaries of the vessel. The subtly off-square form suggests movement, while the juxtaposition of cool blues and burgundy brings associations of contemplation and depth. Every detail—from softly rounded edges to the nuanced glazing—gives the object a voice of the late '80s: at once calm and individual, rhythmically dynamic.
The vase can be placed on a central console or low shelf in the living room, where its geometric silhouette and richness of color will be fully appreciated
