Ferdinand Elchinger, son of the Elchinger Céramistes dynasty, which had been producing ceramics in Souffleheim, Alsace, since 1834. Inspired by Art Deco and Bauhaus, Fernand Elchinger developed the modern and abstract forms of his ceramic vessels over the years, transforming them from the Elchinger Céramistes' original purely functional objects into works of art in tune with his time.

The "Infini" vase shape was developed in 1954 and, with its looped rim, imitates the infinity symbol. The vase is featured in the 1956 catalog of the Elchinger Céramiques factory as one of its showcase pieces (see images).
Signature "Elchinger France" is on the bottom of the vase base (see images).
