{"product_id":"rudi-stahl-studiokeramik-flaschenvase-signiert-datiert-1978","title":"Rudi Stahl studio pottery bottle vase, signed and dated February 1978","description":"\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eHand-thrown studio ceramic bottle vase by Rudi Stahl (1918–1987), one of Germany's most important post-war studio ceramic artists from Höhr-Grenzhausen in the Westerwald region. The shape follows a classic bottle silhouette with a tall cylindrical body, a short conical shoulder transition, and a widely flaring flat plate mouth — a form that Rudi Stahl varied repeatedly throughout his most productive years. The fine grooves of the throwing process are still clearly visible on the freely thrown wall; the glaze runs in a beige-ochre sand tone over the upper two-thirds and transitions into a deep aubergine-black field with a finely iridescent metallic shimmer on the lower third. The upper inner plate is covered with the same dark feldspar glaze, so that the eye and fingertip repeatedly encounter this calm, matte-glossy element at the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe underside bears a three-line incised signature that clearly establishes the collector's value of this unique piece — \"Feb 78\" for February 1978, \"Handarbeit\" (handmade) and the full artist's name \"Rudi Stahl\". The exact dating is an exceptional feature, as Rudi Stahl typically marked most of his vases with a model number instead of a date; a dated unique piece is thus a significantly rarer collector's item than the series vases usually signed only with a catalog number. Very good vintage condition with no chips or scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rudi Stahl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53584884859227,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/7641\/9931\/files\/IMG_7488.jpg?v=1783886097","url":"https:\/\/artfillsspace.com\/en\/products\/rudi-stahl-studiokeramik-flaschenvase-signiert-datiert-1978","provider":"ArtFillsSpace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
