Mid-Century Modern Duo H&C Selb Bavaria Heinrich Vases – A Geometric Masterpiece Set Description: A striking pair of mid-century porcelain vases from H&C Selb Bavaria Heinrich, embodying the sculptural precision and quiet elegance that defined German design in the 1950s–1970s. Crafted from fine bisque porcelain, this duo presents a perfect dialogue between form and texture — a study in geometric rhythm and tactile beauty. Each vase demonstrates the period’s fascination with structure and abstraction: one defined by soft horizontal ripples reminiscent of topographical contours, the other animated by concentric wave reliefs that evoke fluid motion. Together, they create a sophisticated visual balance between movement and stillness. Design Details: Rippled Geometric Vase Height: approx. 18 cm Slender vertical silhouette with fine, horizontal ripple relief Concentric Wave Vase Height: approx. 16 cm Rounded form with deep, radial grooves suggesting undulating waves Both vases are rendered in matte bisque porcelain — unglazed, smooth, and velvety to the touch. The uncoated surface allows shadow and light to articulate every curve and recess, turning each piece into a small architectural sculpture. Why This Duo Stands Out: Mid-Century Modern Appeal – Exemplifies the purity and sculptural focus of modernist ceramic design. Balanced Contrast – The interplay of linear and circular geometries offers visual rhythm and balance. Material Integrity – The matte bisque surface highlights the harmony between form, texture, and light. Versatility – Elegant enough to stand alone, yet most compelling when displayed as a pair. Condition: Both vases are in excellent vintage condition, free from chips, cracks, or restoration. Minimal traces of age are consistent with careful decades-long preservation. About the Maker: H&C Selb Bavaria Heinrich was among Germany’s most respected porcelain houses, known for its impeccable craftsmanship and modernist collaborations. During the mid-century period, Heinrich became synonymous with high-quality bisque porcelain — pure in tone, architectural in form, and conceptually forward-looking. These vases reflect the manufacturer’s pursuit of harmony between functional precision and sculptural beauty. A Collector’s Treasure: More than decorative, this duo represents a refined chapter of European modernism — when design moved beyond ornament to embrace form as art. Perfect for collectors of 20th-century ceramics, connoisseurs of modernist aesthetics, or interiors that value thoughtful, timeless design. --- GENERAL INFORMATION Explore our profile for more vintage vases!
