A beautifully elegant Tea Pot from the DROP range of porcelain tableware, designed by Luigi Colani for Rosenthal's Studio-linie style of white porcelain tableware. The backstamp has a small scratch on the glaze so this is not first quality. The glaze otherwise looks excellent and there are no cracks, chips, discoloration or rust spots etc that I can see in it. It is in excellent condition and has a nice ring to it. The pot has not been used but has rested in storage since it was bought c1972. Width: 19cm Height: 11cm Weight=960g (see photos).
About Luigi Colani He was born in 1928 and he is a German industrial designer of kurdish descent. His unconventional designs have made him famous, not only in design circles, but also to the general public.
He has received numerous design awards. However, Colanis unconventional designs have left him largely as an outsider from the mainstream of industrial designers and German designers consider him to be the "enfant terrible". But whilst some totally reject him, others are enthusiastic about his revolutionary deigns, for which he is always looking for new radical solutions. His long career began in the 1950s when he designed cars for companies such as Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Volkswagen, BMW, Boeing, Canon, Thyssen and even NASA.
From the 1960s, he began designing furniture, and in the 1970s, he expanded in numerous areas, ranging from household items such as ballpoint pens and television sets to uniforms and trucks and entire kitchens. From 1970 to 1972 Colani worked for Roenthal and created the award-winning tea service Drop as part of the Roenthal Studio-lline range. The Drop design won him the Gute Indutrieform award in 1972 and was included in the permanent collection of the Centre George Pompidou, Paris, as an example for contemporary design.
