Here's another stunning piece by Wendelin Stahl, made in the Fifties or Sixties. This heavy, slab-form piece is pure sculpture—and a statement piece, wherever it may be placed. But it's the masterful glazing which makes the piece exquisite. An organic, taupe glaze flows down the sides of the piece, over a stunning sapphire crystalline glaze. The juxtaposition of brilliant, heavenly glazing on such a heavy (perhaps Brutalist?) form gives this piece an aesthetic tension: the delicate balanced with the brutish. Beauty and The Beast.
