Vita stahl: The ceramist, who was born into a potter family in höhr-grenzhausen on 20.4.1922, was also apprenticed to kunow & drossé in 1938/39. After the war, he continued teaching in his father's company and worked from 1952 together with else harney in the joint workshop on the coraidelstein castle at klotten on the moselle. Else harney died in 1984. For many of the ceramists who studied ceramics at the academies and in the workshops in the seventies and eighties, wendelin stahl was a model in the way of the formal manufacture of his vessels as well as in the balance and color power of the luminous glazes. His perfect feldspar glazes, often applied in several layers, in the variants green, blue, white with pink or red, his delicate celadon, the deep red ox blood or the delicately blue, always mystery-ridden clair de lune were not common practice at the time. The crystal glazes wendelin stahls were technically perfect.
