Gertrud and Otto Natzler Footed Cylindrical Bowl (Chalice), 1965

Earthenware with Old Ivory glaze

5¾ h × 5¾ dia in (15 × 15 cm)

Signed ‘Natzler’ with archive number N468

A rare and sculptural chalice form by Gertrud Natzler, distinguished by its elevated foot and balanced cylindrical bowl—an uncommon configuration within there body of work.

Paired with Otto Natzler’s restrained Old Ivory glaze, the surface reveals subtle tonal variation, fine speckling, and natural firing nuances that emphasize form over surface.

Combining Gertrud’s refined, thin-walled construction with Otto’s quietly complex glaze, this example reflects the sophistication and control central to their collaboration.

A rare and well-resolved work, notable for its form and direct provenance from the Natzler studio.

Condition:

Excellent original condition. Surface with inherent firing characteristics, including natural speckling and glaze variation consistent with Otto Natzler’s process.
