Product description
Cuno Fischer for Hutschenreuther Selb – Bisque Porcelain Vase with Op Art Relief (1960s–70s Studio Line)
A sculptural and highly collectible bisque porcelain vase designed by Cuno Fischer for Hutschenreuther Selb, West Germany. Created in the 1960s–70s as part of the manufactory’s artist-led Studio Line, this piece exemplifies the bold formal language of postwar German design — balancing architectural structure with fine craftsmanship.
Cast in matte white bisque porcelain, the vase features a textural labyrinth relief, abstract yet symmetrical — almost architectural in its rhythm. Its compact proportions and upright silhouette create a quiet presence, while the relief invites close inspection of shadow and depth. Fischer’s theatrical sensibility is evident: the vase feels like a miniature façade, a stage set in porcelain.
Unlike decorative Rococo or floral traditions, this work belongs to a modernist avant-garde that elevated utilitarian objects into sculptural statements. It embodies the precision and expressive clarity for which Fischer’s ceramics are prized.
About the Designer – Cuno Fischer (1914–2003)
Cuno Fischer was a German painter, ceramicist, and stage designer, active across several creative disciplines. Known for his vivid, sometimes surreal paintings, he also created striking objects for Hutschenreuther during the company’s modernist renaissance. His Studio Line designs stand out for their abstract formalism, tactile surfaces, and theatrical elegance. Today, they are sought after by collectors of European postwar design.
