AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An extraordinary ensemble of three sculptural porcelain vases by AK Kaiser, designed by Manfred Frey. The strictly geometric bodies stand in exciting contrast to the deeply worked, organic reliefs that recall fossils, ammonites, and exposed rock layers.
Made from white, matte bisque porcelain with a glazed interior, the sculptural relief reveals an impressive depth depending on the incidence of light. As a group, the different shapes and sizes almost form a small abstract landscape.
The series can be placed in the 1970s. Comparable pieces with nearly identical fossil relief are attributed to Manfred Frey and likewise dated to this period. Particularly meaningful is a documented ensemble with model numbers 276/1, 282 and 275/17, which is very close to the set shown here.
All three vases bear the blue AK-Kaiser back stamp. A characteristic example of German porcelain design of the 1970s, in which geometric modernity and nature-inspired surface texture are impressively combined.
