Tall handmade and hand-painted owl sculpture handcrafted and hand-painted in beautiful colors
Designer/maker: Eva Fritz-Lindner (1933-2017)
with model stamp on base circa 1960-1970
Glaze: The matte colors are bright and vivid and the hand painting only adds to the charm; light original glaze crazing appropriate for age.
Estimated Rarity: 100-200
Additional comments: A rare owl form
Dimensions: 9.5 inches high
Handmade / handarbeit and hand glazed, few survive
Provenance: From the estate of the artist family Nohl with Hans, Paul (1914-1989) and his wife Elfriede Julia Anna Nohl (born Wolf, 1916-2005).
Eva Fritz-Lindner worked for the Staatliche Majolika Manufaktur Karlsruhe, about 1939-1960; then in own workshop, circa 1970.
“Most of her sculptures were likely produced in less than 100 copies based upon research and all were hand-painted individually by this artist ensuring each work of art was indeed unique. Largest scale works were either unique or limited to a handful of copies.”
