Eva Stæhr-nielsen Unique Big Green Table Lamp, Saxbo Denmark, 1950s
By Eva Stæhr Nielsen, Saxbo
Located in Forest, BE
This is a very unique table lamp with a nice shade of green glaze. Its a higher piece than usual. This is a real lamp not a vase that was transformed later. You can see the glaze around the cable hole on the detail picture. A signature under the base. Made by hand by Master ceramicist Eva Stæhr-Nielsen at famous Danish Saxbo atelier. The lamp shade (34.4 x H24.2cm) received a new white stripped cotton (by Audrey). The feet (34 x 13cm diameter) was professionally cleaned by a craftsman (her name is Sophie). Eva Stæhr-Nielsen a grandi dans un environnement créatif. Le père, qui était le fils d'un propriétaire terrien et avait une formation de libraire, a organisé certains des premiers voyages touristiques au Danemark et est devenu plus tard le chef de l'agence de voyage danoise. L'oncle était le peintre Johannes Wilhjelm. Sa mère a été l'une des premières femmes à fréquenter l'école d'art pour femmes de l'Académie des arts, mais elle n'a pas travaillé comme artiste après son mariage. Eva Stæhr-Nielsen a su très tôt qu'elle voulait être céramiste, mais ses parents pensaient qu'elle devrait passer un examen de fin d'études, et c'est pourquoi elle est venue à l'école Marie Kruse. Cependant, elle n'a pas terminé et en 1930, elle est entrée à la nouvelle école des artisans, située dans le pavillon du Musée d'art et d'industrie. Ici, elle a rencontré le professeur central de la classe de céramique, le sculpteur de 15 ans Olaf S-N., qui a eu une grande influence sur sa vie et son développement artistique. Ils se sont mariés en 1935 et au fil des ans ont eu une vie fructueuse avec une inspiration mutuelle. En 1932, Eva Stæhr-Nielsen entre dans l'atelier Saxbo de Nathalie Krebs, un atelier devenu leader non seulement au Danemark, mais dans toute l'Europe dans la production de grès...
