Starting in 1936 as an apprentice under sculptor Karl Tutter, he later became head of the art department at Lorenz Hutschenreuther, creating more than 150 porcelain figures as well as services and giftware that moved from unique artist’s models into successful serial production. His work, often inspired by animals and nature, is characterised by sculptural sensitivity, clear lines and a balance between artistic expression and everyday usability, giving the brand a recognisable aesthetic and strong commercial appeal. A major retrospective titled “Über 50 Jahre Porzellan – Hans Achtziger” at the Porzellanmuseum Hohenberg marked his 70th birthday and underlined his lasting influence on 20th-century German porcelain design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLorenz Hutschenreuther\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":56468609368439,"sku":"1018","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/0434\/3415\/files\/1018_25.10.2024_2_CandleHolder_Hutschenreuther_White_Porcelain_Glossy_4-7.jpg?v=1767617356","url":"https:\/\/www.berlinretrofinds.com\/products\/pair-of-porcelain-candle-holders-hans-achtziger-for-hutschenreuther-1950s-1960s","provider":"Berlin Retro Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
