Natzler / Auction / House

The Private Collection of Gertrud & Otto Natzler at Rago and LAMA

This auction has some insane pots. It looks like the Natzlers were holding back some of the best examples.

Orange-red crater glaze

I'm not usually a fan of these crystal formation glazes. They are a little flashy for me. However, paired with this dark blue, it works. Otto was was such a glaze master.

The house and studio where Gertud and Otto made all the pots is also for sale. Gertrud died in 1971. Otto later married photographer Gail Reynolds. Otto died in 2007 and Gail passed last year.

This what the house looked like early on. After Gertrud passed, Otto and Gail expanded the house and gave it that Austrian chalet look.

There were thousands of pieces of ceramics in the house. The real estate listing says "... it has been taken out by an art dealer, and they are now in storage."

However, there are some Natzlers still around the property in the real estate photos.
