The Mantille vase features a series of sweeping lines and sculptural forms inspired by mid-century couture silhouettes. Designed by Trude Petri in 1957 and produced by Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin, the white porcelain construction gives the impression of movement through a sequence of bends and carefully balanced proportions. Its hourglass-like form bridges functional object and art piece, making it as suited to floral arrangements as it is to display on its own.
First launched in 1957, the 'Mantille' vase features a series of sweeping lines and sculptural forms that allude to the hourglass silhouettes of Christian Dior’s New Look and Cristóbal Balenciaga's flamenco-style evening wear. Designed by Trude Petri and produced by Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin, the white porcelain vase gives the impression of movement thanks to a series of bends and balanced proportions, which together form an object that toes the line between art piece and functional object.
