Both pieces have a tall, narrow profile with deeply worked vertical relief that gives the surface a strong rhythm and a rich play of light. The larger 41 cm example adds extra presence, while together the two create a balanced and atmospheric composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eTaller vase: H 41 cm, W 11.5 cm, D 11.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eSmaller vase: H 33 cm, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eW 11.5 cm, D 11.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eMaterial: Textured glass\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eBrand: Rosenthal Studio-Line\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eDesigner: Martin Freyer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eColor: Clear\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eEra: Mid-century modern, 1970s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eOrigin: Germany\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eCondition: Very good vintage condition; light age-related wear to the surface and base edges.

With the launch of Rosenthal studio-line in 1961, Rosenthal positioned itself at the forefront of contemporary design and, alongside its famous porcelain and ceramic lines, introduced glass and cutlery as part of a unified modern program. This expansion was not secondary, but central to the brand’s identity, with German glass production anchored by the Amberg glassworks from 1970 onward. Rosenthal’s glass lines from this period share the same design-driven spirit as its porcelain: refined, experimental, and closely tied to leading artists and designers of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57007178940791,"sku":"313_588","price":495.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/0434\/3415\/files\/588_22.06.2024_DUO_Vase_Rosenthal_MartinFreyer_transparent_Glass_Glossy_41-1.jpg?v=1776151399","url":"https:\/\/www.berlinretrofinds.com\/products\/rosenthal-glasstruktur-glass-vase-duo-martin-freyer-for-rosenthal-1970s","provider":"Berlin Retro Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
