Henry Van De Velde (Belgian, 1863-1957) for Reinhold Hanke Vase, circa 1902 the rim incised three parallel lines extending to form two handles deep purple-reddish glaze impressed manufacturer's mark and model no. 2043 23cm high, 18cm across. Literature: see Kunst und Kunstandwerk, Vienna, 1902, 540 and 545, and Die Kunst, 8, Munich 1902, 37 for illustrations of this design of vase in a room for the Deutsch-Nationalen Kunstausstellung in Dusseldorf designed by Van de Velde. Examples of this vase can be found in the British Museum, London and the Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg (see H. Spielmann, 'Raume und Meisterwerke der Jugendstil-Sammlun', Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe, 1977, pl. VII). In 1900 the Westerwald District Council approached Van de Velde to collaborate in the revival of its stoneware industry after the failure of their stands at the 1900 Paris Exhibition. In early 1902 Van de Velde's initial designs were split between a number of manufacturers in order to produce work for the Dusseldorf Exhibition later in the year, all of which was overseen by Van de Velde. Whilst most of the manufacturer's produced the wares in the traditional hues of grey and blue, his collaboration with Reinhold Hanke broke the mould in form and decoration. It resulted in the first examples of sang-de-boeuf glazes on this type of stoneware coming into line with other international trends and taste. The glazes produced by Reinhold Hanke were both expensive and risky, and were frequently unsuccessful, but when they succeeded they set a new standard.
