Product description
Curated Duo: Two Icons of West German Porcelain Design, 1960s–1970s**
*Rosenthal Studio Line by Natalie Sapone & Fürstenberg Model 1450/14*
A curated pairing of two distinct yet harmoniously contrasting vases from the golden era of West German porcelain production. Each piece reflects a different facet of modernist design sensibilities — one boldly expressive, the other quietly architectural. Together, they form a dialogue between color and form, spontaneity and restraint.

**1. Rosenthal Studio Line Vase by Natalie Sapone, Germany, 1960s–70s**
This cylindrical porcelain vase, designed by Natalie Sapone for Rosenthal's pioneering Studio Line, captures the spirit of postwar artistic freedom. Rendered in a vivid glaze of orange, red, and brown over a white ground, the vertical flow of color evokes both painterly abstraction and the radical optimism of the 1960s. The vase bears the green *Rosenthal studio-linie GERMANY* backstamp and the form number 3566/22.

**2. Fürstenberg Porzellan Vase, Model 1450/14, Germany, 1970s**
In deliberate contrast, this vase from Fürstenberg epitomizes understated sophistication. With its elliptical shape and incised stripe-and-circle décor, it channels the clarity and order of 1970s modernism. The matte white finish and precise geometry make it a perfect foil to the expressive Rosenthal counterpart. Marked on the base.

**Curator’s Note:**
Displayed side by side, these two vases speak to the duality of postwar German design — one exuberant and gestural, the other serene and measured. A refined pairing for collectors, design historians, or anyone curating a space with thoughtful contrasts.
