Elevate your collection with this exquisite trio of vintage bisque porcelain vases from the renowned **"Archais"** series, masterfully designed by **Heinrich Fuchs** for **Lorenz Hutschenreuther** during the transformative design era of the **1960s and 1970s**. These sculptural pieces showcase the perfect harmony between traditional German craftsmanship and the avant-garde aesthetics of the **Op Art movement**, making them a standout addition to any interior space or porcelain collection.
**Product Details:**

- **Designer:** Heinrich Fuchs
- **Series:** "Archais"

- Vase 2: Signed "Fuchs" with model number **6338/25**
- Vase 3: Signed "Fuchs" with model number **6339/30**
- **Dimensions:**

- **Medium Vase:** Height 25 cm, Width approx 9 cm × 7,5 cm
- **Large Vase:** Height 30 cm, Width approx 11 cm× 9 cm
- **Condition:** Very good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age. Note a small production flaw on the underside of the large vase (detailed below).
**Detailed Description:**
This stunning set features **three vases** of ascending sizes, each meticulously crafted to exhibit a seamless blend of **organic textures and geometric patterns** characteristic of Heinrich Fuchs's visionary approach to design. The **matte bisque porcelain** enhances the tactile quality and visual depth of the relief work, creating captivating shadows and highlights that change dynamically with lighting conditions.
The **"Archais"** series marks a significant departure from traditional porcelain designs, embracing a modernist perspective that resonates with contemporary tastes even decades later. Fuchs's work during this period breathed new life into Hutschenreuther's offerings, positioning the manufactory at the forefront of design innovation.
Whether displayed together as a striking trio or individually curated throughout your space, these vases serve as versatile art pieces that complement a variety of interior styles, from mid-century modern to minimalist and eclectic decors. Their neutral white hue allows for effortless integration, while their sculptural forms make a bold artistic statement.
**Condition Report:**
- **Overall:** All three vases are preserved in **very good vintage condition**, showcasing their enduring quality and careful maintenance over the years.
- **Specifics:**
- **Small and Medium Vases:** No noticeable chips, cracks, or repairs. The surfaces are clean with minimal signs of wear.
- **Large Vase:** Features a minor production flaw on the **upper inner edge of the base**, located above the stamp and model number (**visible in photo #15**). This flaw is only noticeable when the vase is turned upside-down and does not affect its aesthetic appeal or structural integrity when displayed.
**Why This Set Stands Out:**
- **Collectible Value:** Authentic pieces from a limited and sought-after series by a celebrated designer.

- **Quality Craftsmanship:** Represents the superior quality and attention to detail synonymous with **German porcelain artistry**.
