The art of glazing is an ancient craft—captivating yet challenging to master. It involves a complex balance of elements like mixing, thickness, kiln temperature, cooling speed, and other factors that determine the final outcome. Fine pieces may appear to be created by magicians, with perfectly thrown pottery covered in glossy, matte, or shimmering surfaces in a wide variety of colors: yellow, red, blue, green, violet, brown, gray, black, and white.
At Auktionsmagasinet Vänersborg, over 100 examples of this mesmerizing art form are being showcased. Naturally, some of the greatest masters in the field are behind the pieces now up for auction. The collection includes works by prominent figures such as Gunnar Nylund, Carl-Harry Stålhane, Marianne Westman, Berndt Friberg, Erich and Ingrid Triller, Stig Lindberg, and Erik Pløen, among others. Notable pieces include a beautifully rounded, sand-colored piece by Eva Staehr-Nielsen and Berndt Friberg's galaxy-like shining Aniara vase. But what about that unusual ashtray from Höganäs? It’s certainly unique!
