A black porcelain bowl from the Nautica series, designed by Jan van der Vaart for Rosenthal Studio-Line in the 1980s. This Porcelaine Noire piece combines matte and glossy surfaces in a distinctly postmodern form.

  • Material: Porcelain
  • Brand: Rosenthal
  • Designer: Jan van der Vaart
  • Color: Matte black, glossy black
  • Era: Postmodern, 1980s
  • Origin: Germany
  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition; no chips, cracks, or repairs
  • Remarks: From the Nautica series

This bowl is especially convincing in dialogue with another piece. It pairs naturally with a vase from the Nautica series, but also works well with other Rosenthal designs from the same period. On its own, it is best placed on a low shelf or console, where the eye meets it from above and the full shape can unfold more clearly.

Jan van der Vaart (1931–2000) was a leading Dutch ceramist, known for his strictly geometric, modular vessel forms and for elevating serial, cast pieces to collectible design. As professor at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam he shaped a generation of ceramic artists, and his works are held in major museum collections such as the Stedelijk Museum and Princessehof.

Rosenthal, founded in 1879 in Selb, Bavaria, is one of Germany’s most important porcelain manufacturers, recognised for combining industrial production with high design standards. With its Studio-Linie programme from the 1960s onwards, Rosenthal invited international artists and designers to create avant-garde forms and décors, making pieces like this set both functional objects and design collectibles.
