Carl-Harry Stålhane, Swedish Green glaze 1950’s plate / bowl on foot, Unique

About the Item

Green glazed bowl / plater by Swedish master ceramicist Car-Harry Stalhane. From dark grey on the edges to dark green. It is the Japanese inspiration glaze. Elegant details and nice pattern. Elegant piece made by hand and signed by the artist. Carl-Harry Stålhane was the son of the merchant Carl Vilhelm Hilarius Stålhane and Agnes Elisabeth Lundgren and from 1948 married to Birgit Ingegerd Dahlin. Stålhane studied faience painting at Rörstrands Porslinsfabrik and after passing exams was employed as a faience painter at the factory in 1939, but in the mid-1940s he was given the opportunity to try working with the wheel, which resulted in him further training at Grünewald's painting school from 1944 to 1946 and for the sculptor Ossip Zadkine at the Académie Colarossi in Paris from 1947 to 1948. After his time in Paris he was given the opportunity to work with design and he first created a stoneware in the Chinese classical style with a certain connection to Gunnar Nylund's objects. Through stages of faience painting and ornate glaze decoration, he reached a harsh and closed form of chamotte stoneware in the 1950s, including vases and abstract sculptures with eruptively mottled earthen glazes. At the age of 30 he became something of a master of stoneware and took over as leading artist from Gunnar Nylund. In the early 1960s he worked with heavier objects that were often modeled instead of turned and his square shapes became more common. He also designed consumer goods for mass production, among other things he designed the Victoria series that was shown in London in 1959 and together with Aune Laukanen who was responsible for the decoration, he created the Spanish-inspired Torro series. He also designed a stoneware service exclusively for the Operakällaren in Stockholm. For the last two years he was also design director at Upsala Ekeby. While working at Rörstrand, he was appointed head teacher of ceramics and glass at the School of Applied Arts in Gothenburg, a position he held part-time from 1963 until 1971. Stålhane moved to his own practice in Designhuset in Lidköping in 1973 and there he resumed his experiments with local clays and minerals. Here he collaborated with other designers and turners, and made interesting glaze experiments himself. From this time on he also had commissions for Bing & Grøndahl for whom he made both decorations and a large series of table lamps. He exhibited separately at Ostermans in Stockholm in 1948, Röhsska konstslöjdmuseet in 1948, Malmö Museum in 1949, Gummeson's Art Gallery in 1952, Bonniers in New York in 1960 and Tokyo in 1966. He was represented at Rörstrand's exhibitions in Stockholm, Copenhagen, London and Uppsala since the late 1940s. He participated several times on his own in the Milan Triennale, which resulted in a gold medal in 1948 and an honorary diploma in 1951. Carl-Harry Stålhane is buried at the Norra cemetery in Lidköping.
