Stoneware Bowl for Rörstrand – Sweden, 1950s–1960s

Beautiful stoneware bowl designed by Swedish ceramist Carl-Harry Stålhane for the Rörstrand factory. This piece features a deep, nuanced glaze in shades of midnight blue and brown, with subtle variations and speckled effects characteristic of Stålhane’s work.

The interior reveals a glaze in turquoise and blue tones, creating an elegant contrast with the darker exterior. The glossy finish highlights the richness of the colors and the depth of the glaze.

Carl-Harry Stålhane (1920–1990) was born in Sweden and joined Rörstrand at a young age, working alongside Gunnar Nylund. From the 1940s, he developed his own stoneware works and quickly became a leading figure in Scandinavian ceramics.

Influenced by Japanese ceramics, modern art, and constructivism, he achieved international recognition in the 1950s. He later worked on both industrial designs and unique sculptural pieces.

In 1973, he left Rörstrand and co-founded Designhuset, continuing a more free and expressive production. He died in 1990, leaving a major legacy in Swedish design history.
