Hans Theo Baumann, born 1924 in Basel (and still alive as it seems), is one of the most influential industrial designers in Germany after the war. He studied in Dresden and Basel. In 1955 he opened his own design studio. As a freelance designer he worked very much for Gralglas (dozens of designs listed in the book "gralglas – Deutsches Design 1930-1981" by Helmut Ricke (Deutscher Kunstverlag 2011). He also worked for Vitra and porcelain factories like Rosenthal, Arzberg or Hutschenreuther. He was part of Egon Eiermann's team in the reconstuction of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche in Berlin.

I love the first picture.
Any idea why the middle vase has a different colour blue?
I guess that's a question of thickness...
I think this is so neat! Also, my mother is a Baumann, so this may be made by a distant reletive!
