Description
Green glazed bowl / plater by Swedish master ceramicist Car-Harry Stalhane. From dark grey on the edges to dark green. It is the Japanese inspiration glaze. Elegant details and nice pattern. Elegant piece made by hand and signed by the artist.
Carl-Harry Stålhane was the son of the merchant Carl Vilhelm Hilarius Stålhane and Agnes Elisabeth Lundgren and from 1948 married to Birgit Ingegerd Dahlin.
Stålhane studied faience painting at Rörstrands Porslinsfabrik and after passing exams was employed as a faience painter at the factory in 1939, but in the mid-1940s he was given the opportunity to try working with the wheel, which resulted in him further training at Grünewald's painting school from 1944 to 1946 and for the sculptor Ossip Zadkine at the Académie Colarossi in Paris from 1947 to 1948. After his time in Paris he was given the opportunity to work with design and he first created a stoneware in the Chinese classical style with a certain connection to Gunnar Nylund's objects.
Through stages of faience painting and ornate glaze decoration, he reached a harsh and closed form of chamotte stoneware in the 1950s, including vases and abstract sculptures with eruptively mottled earthen glazes. At the age of 30 he became something of a master of stoneware and took over as leading artist from Gunnar Nylund. In the early 1960s he worked with heavier objects that were often modeled instead of turned and his square shapes became more common.
He also designed consumer goods for mass production, among other things he designed the Victoria series that was shown in London in 1959 and together with Aune Laukanen who was responsible for the decoration, he created the Spanish-inspired Torro series. He also designed a stoneware service exclusively for the Operakällaren in Stockholm. For the last two years he was also design director at Upsala Ekeby.
While working at Rörstrand, he was appointed head teacher of ceramics and glass at the School of Applied Arts in Gothenburg, a position he held part-time from 1963 until 1971.
Stålhane moved to his own practice in Designhuset in Lidköping in 1973 and there he resumed his experiments with local clays and minerals. Here he collaborated with other designers and turners, and made interesting glaze experiments himself. From this time on he also had commissions for Bing & Grøndahl for whom he made both decorations and a large series of table lamps.
He exhibited separately at Ostermans in Stockholm in 1948, Röhsska konstslöjdmuseet in 1948, Malmö Museum in 1949, Gummeson's Art Gallery in 1952, Bonniers in New York in 1960 and Tokyo in 1966. He was represented at Rörstrand's exhibitions in Stockholm, Copenhagen, London and Uppsala since the late 1940s. He participated several times on his own in the Milan Triennale, which resulted in a gold medal in 1948 and an honorary diploma in 1951.
Carl-Harry Stålhane is buried at the Norra cemetery in Lidköping.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
