Horst Heinzlreiter Ceramics

Sort

Horst Heinzlreiter has done it again! In his newest collection of ceramics, we requested Horst make his largest scaled pots to date. The magician from Austria did not disappoint. Bigger pots, bigger ideas, and a greater breadth of creativity define Horst’s newest offerings. Horst’s glazes and shapes are unrivaled in the bonsai sphere. The colors and textures are his calling card, but the details of this most recent batch of pots created more dimension and diversity of surfaces than we’ve ever seen Horst achieve. Playing on aggregate textures while riffing on traditional forms, Horst blends east and west aesthetics in his bonsai vessels to merge the dynamic of ceramics that are ultimately versatile in handling trees from any continent, styled in the most traditional or avant garde aesthetic. Mirai could not be prouder to offer you the continually evolving work of Horst Heinzlreiter!

His smooth containers offers both function and beauty. What Horst’s smooth containers sacrifice in texture they more than make up for with his complex glazes that provide an incredible depth of colors and a vast surface of moving and shifting tones. Horst’s craftsmanship is even more evident by the patina on the surface of his glazed containers. Each container is rubbed down with special cloth until the surface shine is dulled to a perfect glow.

His textured finishes show off Horst's brilliant surfacing technique which he masterfully uses to create incredible depth and dimension in his containers. The shifting hues and varying colors come from multiple applications of color to the ceramic body as it's being textured to create a unique and evocative container the likes of which only a potter of Horst’s skill can create.
