Vtg Handmade Art Fine Pottery Ceramic Basket Glazed Speckled Gray Signed By Artist NAHLER Barbara Nahler
We have many NAHLER fine studio art pottery pieces in our collection. Barbara Nahler was a well known Detroit designer. Her artwork was often shown at the Coach House Gallery.
This one of a kind handmade ceramic pottery was purchased from the Coach House Gallery that was on Van Dyke Place in Indian Village, Detroit, Michigan in the early 1970’s. Nona Herzog owned the gallery.
Nona was very active and involved with local artists as well as the Scarab Club downtown. The local artists were many….Johanna Haas, NAHLER, Bill Evans, Karen Carter, Mary Lark, Chars Herzog III to name a few. Her gallery also had artists from around the world come and display their art such as Vagh, Miele, and many more.
It is one of a kind and is just spectacular.
So unique in it's construction and how it was glazed. The 11" ceramic basket is beautifully glazed in deep browns and grayish shades. The ceramic on the outside is heavily glazed in a gray and brown. . Glazed inside and outside. Parts of the basket are "pushed in or puckered". The glaze is amazing. The very bottom is not glazed. The basket itself is 4" tall.
Weighs: 2lbs. 3ozs.
The artist signed the base of the piece in large letters: NAHLER. On the base there are 5 small round pieces of green felt to protect the base.
This is an exquisite piece done in such an eclectic style. Perfect for serving fruit, or just about anything you can think of. Lovely as a piece of art just for display.
