Signed 'CHS-e', 'ATELJÉ' and makers mark 'R' with three crowns. Carl-Harry Stålhane (1920-1990) is one of the most renowned representatives of the illustrious Swedish ceramic design of the 20th century. He is well-known as the artistic leader for Rörstrand in the 1960s. His name is synonymous with high ceramic quality, magnificent creative design and brilliant craftsmanship. Stålhane is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design. Carl-Harry was born in the town of Mariestad, in the west of Sweden. As a child, he dreamed of being a successful painter. He started working for Rorstrand in neighboring Lidkoping at the age of 18. Initially, he decorated ceramic wares as assistant for the leading artist Gunnar Nylund. Carl-Harry decorated Rorstrand’s exclusive Flambé range as well as producing idyllic floral designs. The managing director of Rorstrand soon became aware of the abilities of his young decorator. When the prominent Swedish artist Isaac Grünewald came to Rorstrand to prepare some work for an exhibition in 1943, Carl-Harry was made Grünewald's assistant. Grünewald's art and his strong personality were to act as a source of inspiration for the rest of Carl-Harry's life. In the mid 1940s, Carl-Harry Stålhane began to develop his own stoneware. He had his first solo exhibition in 1948, impressing the public with an ability to work in most contemporary styles of stoneware. But after studying in Paris in the late 1940s, Carl-Harry found a style that was truly his own. Inspired by the hunger for new products to meet the post-war economic boom, he developed from being a gifted decorator to a first-rate ceramic artist. He was praised for his "column-like, slender-necked stoneware vases with their peach surfaces", as one magazine put it. Spurred on by a deep love of the ceramic wares of the Far East, Carl-Harry liberated himself from the European tradition of ceramics, finding inspiration in foreign cultures, in Picasso and in constructivist art. The 1950s brought major successes: a diploma and a gold medal at Milan Triennials as well as solo exhibitions in Sweden, the UK and the USA. Carl-Harry commenced his career as an industrial designer in 1954. His Blanca tableware — in elegant white porcelain — was much in demand and gained him international prizes. He designed almost everything from numerous table sets decorations to rustic ashtrays. Carl-Harry Stålhane’s production of unique ceramic works of art increased notably in the late 1950s. In 1960 he reached something of a peak with an exhibition at Galerie Blanche in Stockholm. The exhibition showed robustly dark wares that were hailed as the new ceramics of the sixties, a "rebellion against perfectionism". These massive stoneware pieces, using local clays, were to characterize Carl-Harry’s work in the sixties. The 1960s also brought commissions for public works of art. He found ways of expressing his art on walls and in space with a magnificent hybrid of stoneware and architecture. Carl-Harry and his assistants produced major commissions for companies ranging from automobile manufacturers to sports arenas. His largest wall decoration, covering some 54m2, portrays a rocky landscape. It was created for the Commerce Tower in Kansas City in 1964. Carl-Harry Stålhane left Rorstrand in 1973 since he felt that the company no longer valued the artists. With a couple of colleagues he started Designhuset which was a ceramics studio sited in a former waterworks outside Lidkoping. The new company rapidly produced a series of unique art ceramics as well as simpler wares for the home. Carl-Harry reached new heights as a ceramic artist with his spontaneous, calligraphic decor on porcelain and stoneware. During the early Designhuset years, Carl-Harry was still as vigorously professional as he had been at his debut almost forty years earlier: »It is essential to be curious and adventurous in ones work«.

Rörstrand

Avant que Rörstrand et ses contemporains n'introduisent en Europe la vaisselle en céramique, les gens mangeaient essentiellement dans des assiettes en métal. L'entreprise suédoise de céramique a joué un rôle essentiel dans l'introduction de la porcelaine de Chine dans le monde occidental. Aujourd'hui, les céramiques anciennes de Rörstrand sont très prisées par les collectionneurs.

L'entreprise a vu le jour en 1726 au château de Rörstrand, à Stockholm, sous la direction du maître porcelainier Johann Wolff. Les premières œuvres ne portent pas de cachet ou de sceau pour marquer leur origine, car l'entreprise n'avait pas de concurrents à l'époque. Lorsque des entreprises concurrentes ont fait leur entrée sur le marché de la porcelaine, Rörstrand a commencé à estampiller ses produits.

Avec la demande croissante de vaisselle en céramique , les pièces de Rörstrand ont rempli les armoires des maisons de la noblesse, de la royauté et de l'élite sociale de Suède et des nations environnantes. Les années 1800 ont été marquées par de nombreuses avancées technologiques pour l'entreprise, qui a commencé à utiliser des presses à vapeur pour embosser des motifs dans le matériau. Le 20e siècle a permis à l'entreprise d'accéder aux marchés internationaux après la présentation de ses pièces Art Nouveau à l'Exposition universelle de 1900 à Paris.

La Suède étant un pays neutre pendant les guerres mondiales, Rörstrand a pu continuer à produire, alors que d'autres entreprises ont fermé leurs portes ou se sont tournées vers la fabrication d'articles destinés à l'effort de guerre. L'artiste-designer suédois Gunnar Nylund a créé ses œuvres les plus célèbres - des grès aux tons chauds et à l'émail mat Art Deco et autres - alors qu'il était employé par Rörstrand. Dans les années 1950, Rorstrand fait appel à un maître porcelainier : Marianne Westman, affectueusement surnommée "la Mère Porcelaine". Son modèle, le Design/One Mon Amie, est devenu l'une des meilleures ventes de l'entreprise. C'est l'un des nombreux designs populaires qu'elle et son équipe ont mis au point. Westman a continué à travailler pour l'entreprise jusque dans les années 1960, époque à laquelle elle a fait appel à d'autres talents notables, tels que le designer Inger Persson.
