A refined pair of porcelain vases designed by Hans Theo Baumann for Rosenthal in 1963, exemplifying the designer's distinctive fusion of geometric precision and graphic modernism. Executed in satin white porcelain with crisp black linear decoration, the duo transforms simple cylindrical forms into striking architectural objects.

Although differing in scale, the two vases share identical proportions and decoration, creating a harmonious composition that highlights Baumann's disciplined approach to proportion and surface. The precisely printed black bands wrap around each vessel with a rhythmic sequence of grids, concentric circles, fine lines, and optical motifs, introducing movement without disrupting the purity of the forms.
