The series combined geometric forms with repeating surfaces inspired by crystals, shells and bark, often using matte or glossy white porcelain to emphasise light and shadow. It marked Hutschenreuther’s move towards experimental postwar design and remains one of Fuchs’s best-known and most collected collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeinrich Fuchs \u003c\/strong\u003e(1928–2013) was one of the most visionary designers of mid-century German porcelain, best known for his Op-Art inspired work for Hutschenreuther. From 1965–1970 he created a radically new aesthetic for the manufactory, replacing Rococo florals with abstraction, minimalism and experimental relief surfaces. His celebrated Calabash and Archais series (15 different vases) explore repetitive geometric and nature-inspired textures – from bark to seashell structures – in matte or clear-glazed white, and are now highly sought-after collector pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHutschenreuther\u003c\/strong\u003e is a historic German porcelain brand whose roots go back to 1814, when Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther founded a porcelain factory in Hohenberg an der Eger. His son Lorenz established a separate porcelain factory in Selb in 1857, which grew into Lorenz Hutschenreuther AG, acquiring several other factories. In 1969 the two branches merged as Hutschenreuther AG; since 2000 the Hutschenreuther brand has belonged to Rosenthal and today continues as part of the Sambonet Paderno \/ Arcturus group.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hutschenreuther","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376306200951,"sku":"2121","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/0434\/3415\/files\/2121_27.04.2026_1_Vase_Hutschenreuther_HeinrichFuchs_Archais_White_Porcelain_Glossy_21-1.jpg?v=1786712096","url":"https:\/\/www.berlinretrofinds.com\/products\/archais-geometric-porcelain-vase-heinrich-fuchs-for-hutschenreuther-1970s","provider":"Berlin Retro Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
