The related bottle forms are finished in glossy turquoise and violet purple, with crisp black geometric decoration.

Repeated ovals, bands and linear motifs create a clear Op Art rhythm across the curved surfaces. The difference in colour, height and volume gives the pair a balanced but deliberately asymmetrical appearance.

Dimensions:
- Turquoise vase: Height 23 cm (9.06 in), diameter 17.5 cm (6.89 in)
- Purple vase: Height 18 cm (7.09 in), diameter 13.5 cm (5.31 in)

Baumann trained in textile design, and his understanding of pattern is evident in the way the decoration follows each form. He began collaborating with Rosenthal in 1954 and became known for his precise geometry and controlled use of colour. This piece has an attribution mark,
