Carl-Harry Stålhane

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 nuanced glaze in eggshell beige and brown tones, with subtle variations and speckled effects characteristic of Stålhane’s work.

H: 4.5 cm; D: 12 cm

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

Influenced by Japanese ceramics, modern art, and constructivism, he gained international recognition in the 1950s. He later produced both industrial pieces and more sculptural, unique works.

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