Rare & Modernist Canadian “Harlander Studio” Art Pottery Vase, Cubist Painterly Design in Sgraffito Technique, Brooklin Ontario, Large Scale Vessel Form, Height 14″, Circa 1960s
PotteryThis exceptional mid-century modern studio pottery vase stands fourteen inches tall and is a premium example of Canadian art history from the Brooklin Pottery Studio, active in Brooklin, Ontario. Handcrafted by the renowned husband-and-wife artist duo Theo and Susan Harlander, this monumental vessel perfectly showcases their collaborative mastery. Theo threw the robust, spherical earthenware form on the wheel, creating a clean canvas for Susan to hand-incise the surface using their highly celebrated and collectible sgraffito technique.
The decorative facade of the vase features an intricate, continuous composition of stylized cubist figures, faces, and animal elements. Susan executed this by scratching line work through muted pink and rich brown slips to expose the contrasting clay underneath, creating a deeply textured and visually gripping narrative typical of their European-influenced modernist aesthetic. The unglazed red clay base confirms the piece’s impeccable provenance, bearing the hand-incised circle marks reading T and S Harlander Brooklin Ontario alongside their distinct central TSH monogram stamp.
A definitive statement piece for collectors of mid-century design, studio pottery, or Canadian heritage art, it offers immense display presence and historic value.
Dimensions: height 14″ x width 12.5″ x depth 3.25″
