Gertrud and Otto Natzler Rare Squat Bottle Form with Long Neck, 1974

Earthenware with Sang and Blue Nocturne reduction-fired glaze, featuring melt fissures, skinning, and iridescence

16 h × 9¼ dia in (41 × 23 cm)

Signed ‘Natzler’ with archive number O621

Provenance:

Collection of Gertrud and Otto Natzler

A rare and sculptural form by Gertrud Natzler, notable for its compressed body and elongated neck—an uncommon variation within her body of work. Paired with Otto Natzler’s richly complex Sang and Blue Nocturne glaze, the surface reveals layered iridescence and depth characteristic of his advanced reduction techniques.

Combining Gertrud’s refined, thin-walled form with Otto’s expressive glaze, this example reflects the strength and sophistication of their collaboration.

A rare and important work, distinguished by form, scale, and direct provenance from the Natzler estate.

Condition:

Excellent original condition. Surface with inherent firing characteristics, including melt fissures, glaze skinning, and iridescent variation consistent with Otto Natzler’s reduction process.
