Arzberg Op Art White Bisque Porcelain Vase Concrete Pattern Surface

About the Item

This vintage white op art bisque porcelain vase designed by Hans Theo Baumann for Arzberg in the 1970s is a remarkable piece of mid-century modern art and design. Op art, short for "optical art," was a movement that emerged in the 1960s and was characterized by its use of optical illusions and geometric patterns to create visually captivating effects. This particular vase is a beautiful representation of op art, featuring a concrete-style surface. The choice of bisque porcelain as the base material adds a sense of delicacy and refinement to the otherwise bold and graphic design. Bisque porcelain is a type of unglazed porcelain that has a matte finish, giving the vase a tactile and textural quality. Hans Theo Baumann, a German designer, was known for his contributions to the world of ceramics and porcelain in the mid-20th century. His work often incorporated innovative design elements and artistic influences, making his pieces highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. The vase's unique combination of the op art style and concrete-like texture creates a stunning visual and tactile experience. It represents the artistic experimentation and avant-garde design of the 1970s and showcases the fusion of art and functionality that was characteristic of that era.
