About the Item
A masterful work by famed potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler. This monumentally large round-shaped footed bowl was wheel thrown and formed by Gertrud and glazed by Otto with a rare matte black glaze with hints of avocado green working their way to the surface in various areas. The bowl captures your attention from all angles. We have not seen another like it in sheer scope and design / glaze.
Signed with their customary "Natzler" signature on the underside. Also retains original paper studio label "K111",
placing the work circa 1958.
This work is sure to give aesthetic pleasure for years to come and would be an amazing addition to any Natzler or modern ceramic collection or setting.
Otto Natzler was born in Vienna, Austria and immigrated with his wife Gertrud to America at the advent of WW II. They settled in Los Angeles where they began a ceramics studio. Their now well-documented collaboration lasted over thirty years until Gertrud's death in 1971. Gertrud threw the clay and formed it, while Otto glazed and fired the vessels. Their works are often distinguished by the varied glazes and surfaces. Otto, who was well known for meticulously testing each glaze, applied the glazes with great consideration of the clay form with which it is married to. Otto continued his career after his wife's passing for another 35 years until his own death at the age of 99.
