"Stillleben" Vase - Antje Brüggemann-Breckwoldt for Rosenthal, 1980s

A Rosenthal Studio-Line “Stillleben” vase by Antje Brüggemann-Breckwoldt, made in Germany in the 1980s from matte porcelain with soft ivory, beige and grey-beige tonal variation. The slim body is interrupted by a raised draped relief, giving the piece the impression of folded fabric or plaster caught in motion.

Antje Brüggemann-Breckwoldt (1941–2023) was a German ceramist who developed her own clear sculptural language after studies with Jan Bontjes van Beek in Hamburg and Walter Popp in Kassel. From her workshop in Wippershain she created handbuilt vessels, reliefs and still lifes that explore the dialogue between form and surface, often in finely worked stoneware with subtle glazing. A member of the Académie Internationale de la Céramique since 1979, she was widely exhibited and is regarded as a distinguished voice in postwar European ceramics.

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.
