Hutschenreuther antique porcelain op art vase with gold trim, made in Bavaria, Germany between 1939-65.
Hutschenreuther Selb lion mark printed in green on the base. The design of the lion mark indicates the date of production was between 1939-1965. Style no. 15 also marked in gold foil on bottom. Smooth, glossy white surface with metallic gold painted trim around the openings on each side. Form is like an elongated egg, very elegant, sculptural and unusual.
Condition:
In excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks or other damage, gold trim is still fully in tact.
Measurements:
18.5cm tall x 7cm diameter (at widest point) = approx 7.25" x 2.75"
Other glossy white German Op Art pieces also available, some shown in last image.
The original Hutschenreuther Porcelain Factory was founded by Carolus Magnus in Hohenburg, Bavaria, in 1814. A second factory was established by his son Lorenz in Selb, Germany, in 1857. Lorenz had not partnered with his father and the two companies remained fully independent and in open competition with each other for more than a century but in 1969 the two became one when the Selb company purchased the assets of the Hohenburg factory. The company was renamed Porzellanfabriken Lorenz Hutschenreuther AG Selb. The mark changed through the years, but the name and the lion insignia appear in most versions which helps to date the pieces. Hutschenreuther became part of the Rosenthal division of the Waterford Wedgwood Group in 2000.
