An elegant pair of tall porcelain floor vases by two of Rosenthal's most influential postwar designers, Hans Theo Baumann and Erich Wilhelm John. Executed in matte white porcelain, the duo beautifully illustrates two complementary approaches to modernist design: one defined by rigorous geometric reduction, the other by a more sculptural interpretation of form.

Although conceived independently, the two vases create a harmonious architectural composition through their similar proportions and contrasting silhouettes. Displayed together, they form a refined dialogue between geometry, balance, and material purity.
