From 1908 to 1914, the Munich-Herrsching Ceramic Works was a prominent producer of Jugendstil
pottery. Hohlwein’s graphic still life with three vases is an exceptional design in which the window is
reflected in the vessels, an effect which Hohlwein achieves using the white of the paper. The bold
image is further strengthened by the organization of the typography which is firmly aligned with the
width of the image. Hohlwein / Stuttgart 32, Hohlwein / Munich p. 156, DFP-III 1364, MoMA
