Product description
**Heinrich Fuchs for Lorenz Hutschenreuther – “Archaïs” Vase, c. 1960s–70s**
This sculptural porcelain vase, standing at 22 cm in height, is a striking testament to mid-century German design and craftsmanship. Designed by the esteemed Heinrich Fuchs and signed *5094/22 Fuchs*, it belongs to the iconic *Archaïs* series—an Op-Art collection that redefined porcelain aesthetics during its time.
Produced by the renowned Lorenz Hutschenreuther manufactory, a name synonymous with quality since the early 19th century, this piece exemplifies the transformative spirit of the 1960s and 70s. Fuchs, widely celebrated for his forays into Op-Art, brought a bold new visual language to the factory between 1965 and 1970. With *Archaïs*, he merged organic and geometric motifs into a sculptural dialogue of form and texture.
The vase’s relief surface evokes tactile impressions reminiscent of bark or seashells, offering a captivating interplay between nature and abstraction. Finished in a high-gloss white glaze, it gleams with quiet opulence—modern yet timeless, minimal yet richly sensuous.
Far from the ornate figurines traditionally associated with Hutschenreuther, this vase marks a radical and elegant shift toward modernist expression. Today, pieces from the *Archaïs* series are coveted for their sculptural presence and their enduring resonance with contemporary design sensibilities.
In very good vintage condition, with minor traces of time and use appropriate to its age, this vase remains an exquisite focal point—equally suited for collectors, design connoisseurs, or anyone with an eye for poetic modernism.
