About the Item

This very rare and absolutely stunning Edward Wormley designed end/ occasional table for Dunbar Furniture for their "Janus" collection, circa 1956-1957 comes with inlaid, glazed tiles by famed Austrian/ American ceramists Gertrud and Otto Natzler. A scarce and hard to find combination of Wormley designed furniture with exceedingly rare coral red, eucalyptus stamped raised tiles by the Natzlers. These coral red eucalyptus pattern stamped ceramic tiles are virtually impossible to find. Marked on underside with Dunbar Furniture plaque. This would certainly be the crown jewel in about any setting, modern or otherwise and a must for collectors of Natzler ceramics. 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. The Natzler's work can be found in prestigious collections and museums throughout the world including: The Grace Museum, Abilene, Texas Cooper-Hewitt Museum Everson Museum of Art Honolulu Museum of Art Kantonales Gewerbemuseum Los Angeles County Museum of Art Metropolitan Museum of Art Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche Museum of Arts and Design Museum of Modern Art Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Dimensions: 19.5" high, 24" wide, 24" deep.
