Large Pottery Vase by Heiner Balzar for Steuler

A large vase, part of a series designed by Heiner Balzar for Steuler. Balzar is a prominent ceramic artist in Germany whose work commands strong prices (go to the Handweberei Hinder website, click on Keramik, and then Heiner Balzar.)

Here is an excerpt from Neue Keramik Magazine:

"In Germany, the name of Balzar is inextricably linked with the history of ceramics. Elfriede Balzar-Kopp is considered one of the key figures in the crafts, having renewed the tradition of saltglazed stoneware in the thirties and forties of the last century. Her son, Heiner Balzar, continued the development of this glaze technique and is one of the group of leading figures who showed a completely new potential in working with this traditional glazing technique as early as the 70s and 80s."

This piece is part of a series Balzar designed for Steuler in the 1980s, several of which are pictured in "Deutsche Keramik" by M.P. Thomas. It measures 12 1/4" tall x 9 1/2" wide x 4 7/8" deep. It is marked on the base with the Steuler company mark and is in excellent condition. Great, imposing design.
