Vintage Heinrich bisque porcelain op-art textured vase, made in Bavaria, Germany in the 1960s.
Heinrich Germany printed in blue on base. Style no. 1980 subtly impressed on bottom. Matte white surface with irregular ribbed relief texture. Only the base has a glossy finish and the interior is glazed. Recognisable 'UFO' style shape. Collectible Op Art style.
Condition:
In excellent vintage condition. Some very light markings on the surface - almost impossible to avoid with bisque porcelain of this age. There is a small split on the outer edge of one side, this is from production and isn't damage from wear. Doesn't detract at all from the overall appearance. See pictures for details.
Measurements:
18.5cm tall x 16cm diameter (at widest point) = approx 7.25" x 6.25"
Circular opening: 5cm diameter.
Other mid century German Op Art styles also available, as shown in last image.
Heinrich Porcelain traces back to porcelain painter Franz Heinrich, who, in 1896, installed a muffle kiln inside his parents’ home. He first ordered white ware from the local companies, until in 1901 he began to produce his own porcelain. Selb is regarded to be the European capital of porcelain. Heinrich, Rosenthal and Hutschenreuther produced almost half of the German porcelain ware during the mid century.
