Product description
This sculptural bisque porcelain vase set from the 1960s or 1970s is composed of five (5) stunning pieces of German craftsmanship. The matte relief finish adds depth and texture to its surface, making it a true work of art. Manufactured and stamped by Lorenz Hutschenreuther, a renowned German porcelain manufacturer, this vase carries a rich history of quality craftsmanship. Heinrich Fuchs, a luminary of the artistic realm, is celebrated primarily for his Op-Art creations. During the years spanning 1965 to 1970, Fuchs embarked on a transformative journey, imbuing the renowned Hutschenreuther manufactory with an entirely novel aesthetic. Notably, his opulent legacy includes the iconic Calabash and Archais series, comprising a splendid array of 15 distinct vases. Each vessel in this opus exudes an intricate interplay of natural and geometric motifs, boasting surfaces that evoke the tactile sensations. This sensory tapestry is masterfully adorned with a lustrous finish, whether in matte subtlety or the high-gloss splendour, all elegantly set against a pristine white canvas. These opulent creations marked a profound departure for Hutschenreuther, an esteemed porcelain atelier renowned for nearly two centuries as a paragon of ornate figurine craftsmanship. Yet, Fuchs's innovative oeuvre introduced a windswept breath of modernity into the hallowed halls of tradition. In the contemporary milieu, Heinrich Fuchs's opulent masterpieces endure as sumptuous artifacts, their timeless allure still resonating with a resounding sense of modernity. The vases are signed with the model number and mostly additional "Fuchs", indicating its authenticity and designer's signature. The model belongs to the series known as "ARCHAIS," showcases a timeless and elegant design. Lorenz Hutschenreuther Porzellan, a well-respected name in the porcelain industry, further confirms the quality and value of these pieces. Standing at +/- 34 cm, 29 cm, 27 cm, 25 cm and 20 cm in height, they commands attention and can serve as a focal point in any room, put together or separated. The vase 5× set is made from bisque porcelain, a type of unglazed porcelain known for its delicate appearance and soft matte finish. This material choice adds to its vintage charm and aesthetic appeal. The 1960s/1970s era in which it was created was marked by various design movements, including Op Art, which aimed to create visual illusions through patterns and geometric shapes. This vase trio incorporates elements of Op Art, making it not only a functional vase but also a piece of art that can spark conversations and admiration. The vases are all in excellent vintage condition with some reasonable traces of time and usage, which is expected for a piece of its age. Please see close-up photos nr.14 & 15 of a minor production fault (normal for the time of manufacturing) at the lower edge of two of the vases. Hardly noticeable when standing. In summary, this Lorenz Hutschenreuther set of 5 vases, designed by Heinrich Fuchs in the 1960s or 1970s, is a remarkable example of mid-century porcelain artistry. With its matte relief finish, Op Art influences, and vintage charm, it's not just a vase but a piece of history and art that would be a valuable addition to any collector's or art enthusiast's collection. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of German porcelain craftsmanship with a rich heritage.
