Being offered on this auction is
salad bowl made by Rosenthal China,
Selb, Bavaria,
Germany. Two
famous artists created this object. Bowl is of ‘Uno’ line. It is of round
shape with slightly footed base. Multiple prize-winning Finish painter,
sculptor, designer and graphic artist Timo Sarpaneva (b. 1926) designed
this line. Since 1950s he was one the most important representatives of
Scandinavian arts and crafts. He is famous for exploring porcelain and
glass as a media for artistic sculptural possibilities and expression. He
worked for Rosenthal since 1968. His table service ‘Suomi’ is one of the
most successful porcelain forms worldwide. ‘Suomi’ (this is how Fins call
their country) has been accepted into the permanent collection of the
Centre Pompidou in Paris as an example for contemporary design. Ceramic
table services ‘Kaari’ and ‘Uno’ were another highlights of the Rosenthal
product range. Many of the most significant artists designing for Rosenthal
decorated these lines. German artist Otmar Alt (b. 1940) decorated bowl on
this auction. It is from his artistic table service ‘Sternentango’. Alt
established his reputation with pictures and lithographies influenced by
puzzles and comic strips. He invented colorful and grotesque figurations,
combining them with geometrical forms, thus achieving a magical world of
pictures. Alt worked for Rosenthal since 1978. He designed several objects
in glass, porcelain or ceramics for the limited art edition. Bowl on this
auction is of white background decorated with magnificent figures. They are
dancing Tango in a way Alt sees. This décor is very intense and abstract.
Looks splendid. Alt’s signature is embedded within décor. Bowl is marked on
the backside with standard Rosenthal Studio-Linie mark in white with names
of both artists as well as form and service names printed in black.
Bowl measures about 7” in diameter
and stands 3 ½” tall. Condition is immaculate with no cracks or chips
found. Colors are bright and vibrant. This porcelain is thick and heavy.
