White Bisque Porcelain Trio – Cuno Fischer for Hutschenreuther, 1960s

A refined trio of white bisque porcelain vases designed by Cuno Fischer for Hutschenreuther, each finished with an all-over floral and leaf relief.

Cuno Fischer (1914–1973) was a German painter, stage designer and designer who studied graphics, set design and painting at the Kunstgewerbeschule Wuppertal before working on theatre productions in post-war Berlin. From the 1950s onwards he developed a distinctive visual language that moved between expressionist drawing, narrative scenes and stylised motifs, later translating this into glass and porcelain designs. His collaborations with manufacturers such as Rosenthal and Gralglas brought an artist’s sensibility to everyday objects, often using strong line work and repeating patterns, as seen in the “Tribal” series.

Hutschenreuther 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.
