Rudy Staffel
Light Gatherer, 1985

Material: glazed porcelain

Rudolf Staffel is celebrated for his unique approach to porcelain. He pushed the boundaries of what was traditionally thought of as delicate and fragile in this medium. This vase, meticulously crafted by hand, showcases his nontraditional approach to working with porcelain. The result is a piece that is both elegant and rough in its natural form. Staffel deliberately introduced imperfections into the vase to emphasize the porcelain’s natural translucent quality, driven by his continuous fascination with light.
