heinrich fuchs (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.

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.
