About the Item
Sculptural art pottery vase was designed by Heiner Balzer for Steuler Keramik as a part of his 'Objekt Series'. A wide variety of earth tone glaze variations were used on pieces in the series, giving each a quality of having been produced in an artist's pottery studio; no two are exactly alike. This vase is decorated in reserved matte grey and brown glaze, enhancing the texture of the piece and letting the complex, unusual shape of the piece to take the center stage in the design.
The vase is marked underneath with the Steuler company logo and original Steuler Keramik paper label.
Heiner Balzar, the son of a famous master potter Elfriede Balzar-Kopp (1904-1983), completed a pottery apprenticeship in his mother’s workshop before taking a break to travel through Holland and Sweden and returning to attend the State Ceramic Technical School in Höhr-Grenzhausen, where he took a master class from Hubert Griemert and passed his master craftsman examination before returning to work again in his mother's workshop. While he was still a student, he started to supply mold designs for Dümler & Breiden and Jasba ceramics in the neighboring towns of Ransbach-Baumbach. In 1967 he set up his own workshop in Höhr-Grenzhausen, where he worked intensively on salt-glazed stoneware. He had participated in numerous national and international exhibitions and had won multiple awards and honors. The sophisticated twelve-part series "Objects" for Steuler Keramik is one of his well-known works; the very popular series was conceived as a group of vases that had the look and feel of artisanal studio pottery.

View AllLee Levy Multi Spouted Vase, American Studio Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage ceramic bud vase features sculptural multi spouted shape and stunning textured drip glaze in earthy, organic brown palette. The gradation glaze color and abstract graphic pattern of the main decor emphasize the soft, rounded shape of the vase; the use of shades of brown, from dark espresso to mocha to off-shite cappuccino, creates rich and varied, but monochromatic palette that does not overpower the complex form and shape of the vase.
The vase is signed on the bottom with LEE, that was Lee Levy customary signature; it is not dated, but the style of the piece is consistent with her Mid-Century Modern pieces created in 1960s-1970s.
Leah "Lee" Levy (1922 - 2011) was an established pottery artist based in Upstate New York area. She was born in Pinsk, formerly in Poland, now in Belarus, and moved to the United States in 1929, growing up in Brookline, Massachusetts. She and her husband Irving started their first pottery studio in Long Island, New York, in late 1940s, while training at the Alfred University School of Ceramics alongside with some of the foremost artists and craftsman in America. Since 1946, Alfred University in Alfred, New York was a home for School for American Craftsmen, with the faculty that included Edwin Blanchard Brown, Ernest Frank Brace, Laurits Eichner, Philip Morton, Charles Reese, Ethel Mitchell, Robert Savage, Thomas Mclure, and most importantly for Levy, the renowned ceramists Linn Phelan and Herbert Sanders...
