gorgeous vase made by Rosenthal China,
Selb, Bavaria,
Germany. It
is of famous now German Op-Art line. Acknowledged artist, ceramist and
sculptor Fritz Heidenreich (1895 – 1966) designed this vase. He was a
Rosenthal employee from 1919 to 1960, and from 1946 onwards the head of the
art department in Selb. He always tried to find contemporary ways of
expressing his sense of forms. The most famous of his works is vase on this
auction. This legendary vase is called ‘Pregnant Luise’ (‘Orchideenvase’).
All Rosenthal famous Op-Art was started after he introduced this vase. He
is also well known for fish group ‘Scalare’, which was awarded with Grand
Prize in Paris in 1937. He is also known for his ‘Seven Faces’ (7

by other artists working for Rosenthal. Vase on this auction is decorated

the 1950s and 60s when his pair of 'Lovers' shot to prominence
internationally and particularly in France. They appeared in prints, cards,
ceramics, tea trays, key-chains - pretty nearly anything. Peynet designed
