Rozenburg Eggshell Porcelain Vase
Regular price
$16,000
This eggshell porcelain vase by Rozenburg is uniquely bottleneck-shaped, and decorated with very finely painted bordeaux-colored irises with yellow beards, alongside pale white daisies with yellow centers, all set against an creamy backdrop. Long, sinuous, finely-veined leaves curl around and behind the flowers, climbing up the vase's neck, highlighting and complementing the overall shape of the piece. The vase utilizes complementary hues, pairing purple-reds with deep, golden yellows to make each color pop.

Rozenburg's petal-thin porcelain was developed in 1899 by then-director of the factory, Julian Kok. It was nearly identical in quality to Chinese porcelain, in its eggshell-thin quality and weightlessness. What differentiated it from Chinese porcelain was its exquisite botanical illustrations and experimental shapes.
