Designed as a stylized lion figure, the piece combines bold geometry with vibrant graphic decoration, capturing the expressive and irreverent spirit of 1980s European design.

Produced during the 1980s, the “Leones” series reflects the broader shift toward Postmodernism in European design—where narrative, symbolism, and humor replaced the austerity of earlier decades. Rosenthal’s Studio-Line, long a platform for avant-garde experimentation, embraced this shift by collaborating with designers like Mariscal, Ettore Sottsass, and Dorothy Hafner.

This vase stands as both object and character: a sculptural presence that introduces storytelling into the domestic interior. Equally suited as a functional vessel or a standalone art object.

A rare and expressive piece for collectors of Postmodern design, Rosenthal Studio-Line, or graphic-driven ceramics. This piece has an attribution mark,
