Art Deco floor vase attr. to Michael Powolny / Wiener Keramik / Schleiss Keramik Gmunden „Vereinigte Wiener und Gmundner Keramik und Gmundner Tonwarenfabrik Schleiss, Ges.m.b.H.“ height: 52cm - diameter: 32.5cm - diameter rim: 16.5cm - weight: 7.7 kg From a noble estate in Linz / Austria - in amazing good condition Michael Powolny Michael Powolny (* 18. September 1871 in Judenburg, Österreich-Ungarn; † 4. Jänner 1954 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Keramikdesigner, Bildhauer und Medailleur. Leben Nach Abschluss einer Hafnerlehre besuchte Powolny von 1891 bis 1894 die Fachschule für Tonindustrie in Znaim, daran anschließend von 1894 bis 1901 die Wiener Kunstgewerbeschule. 1906 gründete er gemeinsam mit Bertold Löffler die Wiener Keramik, deren Vertrieb bereits nach etwa einem Jahr von der Wiener Werkstätte übernommen wurde. 1913 kam es zum Zusammenschluss der Wiener Keramik mit der Gmundner Keramik (Vereinigte Wiener und Gmundner Keramik und Gmundner Tonwarenfabrik Schleiss Gesellschaft m. b. H.). Michael Powolny wirkte von 1909 bis 1936 als Lehrer an der Kunstgewerbeschule. Seine Arbeiten, die ab 1929 dem Art déco zugeordnet werden können,[1] wurden auf zahlreichen internationalen Ausstellungen gezeigt und erzielen bei Sammlern hohe Preise. Powolny wurde von Josef Hoffmann bei der Ausstattung des Cabaret Fledermaus und des Palais Stoclet sowie bei der Gestaltung mehrerer großer Villenbautenin Wien herangezogen. Auch der Entwurf für die neue österreichische Ein- und Zwei-Schilling-Münze von 1946 bis 1952 stammt von Powolny. Er stand 1944 in der Gottbegnadeten-Liste des Reichsministeriums für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda. Anlässlich seines 80. Geburtstages wurde Powolny 1951 mit der Ehrenmedaille der Bundeshauptstadt Wien ausgezeichnet. Powolny wurde in einem ehrenhalber gewidmeten Grab auf dem Wiener Zentralfriedhof bestattet. 1965 wurde im 22. Wiener Gemeindebezirk die Powolnygasse nach ihm benannt. Gmundner Keramik – Schleiss Keramik Die „Gmundner Keramik“, wie wir sie heute kennen, ging aus einem im Jahr 1903 von Leopold Schleiss unter dem Namen „Gmundner Thonwaren-Fabrik“ (anfangs Thonwaren mit „h“) errichteten Betrieb in Traunleiten, heute Keramikstraße Gmunden, hervor. Schon im Jahre 1843 kauften die Eltern von Leopold Schleiss in Gmunden die „Hafnerhäuser am See“, heute Theatergasse 14 und 16, und übten dort ihr Hafnergewerbe aus. 1883 übernahm Leopold die gut gehende und deshalb bald an ihre räumlichen Grenzen stoßende Werkstätte. Dies führte zum Kauf eines Grundstückes im oberhalb von Gmunden gelegenen Traunleiten, auf dem 1903 eine neue Fabrikationsstätte errichtet wurde. Leopolds Sohn Franz Schleiss II (geb. 1884) zeigte großes handwerkliches und künstlerisches Talent und entwickelte sich zum überzeugten Vertreter der um die Jahrhundertwende aufkommenden neuen Kunstströmungen. Bereits 1907 waren mehrere Künstler und Künstlerinnen für das Unternehmen tätig, und Fayencen wie Kleinplastiken wurden auf Ausstellungen gezeigt. Nach seiner 1909 erfolgten Verehelichung mit der akademischen Bildhauerin Emilie Simandl, gründete er mit ihr 1910 die „Keramische Werkstätte F. u. E. Schleiss, Gmunden“. 1913 kam es zum Zusammenschluss mit der „Wiener Keramik“. Der neue Firmenname lautete „Vereinigte Wiener und Gmundner Keramik und Gmundner Tonwarenfabrik Schleiss, Ges.m.b.H.“. Die Modelle der „Wiener Keramik“ von Powolny, Löffler und anderen Künstlern gehörten nun zum künstlerischen Bestand des Unternehmens. Nach einer Zeit unglaublicher Vielfalt und Fülle an außergewöhnlichen Keramiken kam es mit Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges, im Rahmen der am Anfang des Krieges herrschenden Hochstimmung, zu einer Sortiment Erweiterung mit „patriotischer Kunst“. Bald aber machte sich das Fehlen von zum Kriegsdienst eingezogenen Arbeitskräften bemerkbar. Mit der Gründung einer „Lehrwerkstätte für Keramik, Schleiss Schule“ steuerte Franz Schleiss dagegen und holte auf diese Weise neue Mitarbeiter in die Firma. Nach Kriegsende erzeugte er mit einigen Absolventen der Schule Unikatkeramiken, die in der „Gmundner Werkstätte, registrierte Genossenschaft m.b.H.“ erzeugt und gemeinsam mit der „Gmundner Keramik“ vertrieben wurden. 1923 wurde die „Gmundner Keramik“ in eine Aktiengesellschaft umgewandelt und firmierte nun unter „Gmundner Keramische Werkstätten A.-G.“. Meinungsverschiedenheiten führten 1926 zum Austritt des Ehepaares Schleiss, welches daraufhin die „Josefine Schleiss Gmundner Keramik“, die spätere „Schleiss Keramik“, und in Deutschland die „Münchner Werkstätte...
