I GUARANTEE FOR THEAUTHENTICITY

OF THIS CHAVA SAMUEL WORK WITH C.O.A.

Chava (Eva) Samuel (1901-1989),the great mother of Israeli ceramics,

was born in Assen, Germany.Hermother was a painter and her father a Rabbi,

and Chava recalled herchildhood as one of being full of art and Judaism.

The opening of the GreatSynagogue in Assen in 1913, being the most ornate one

built in Germany to date,greatly influenced Chava’s artistic style in later years.

Among her works can be found avariety of Jewish ritual objects such as

Shabbat dishes, hannukiot,candlesticks, goblets, Pesah Seder plates,

and Havdallah spice boxes in additionto figurines of characters from the Bible and

Jewish folklore. In contrastto the extremely delicate porcelain common to the era,

Eva created pieces out ofsimple ceramic material that featured flowing picturesque glazes.

Many of Chava’s works thatwere not specifically for religioususe also showed evidence

of a style borrowed fromantiquity.Chava, and her contemporary ceramicist friends,

were the pioneers of a newstyle that was to be directly tied to the land of Israel.

Yet Chava’s formal educationbegan prior to her aliyah. From 1921-23she studied

at the prestigiousFolkwang-Schule for Art in Assen,and in the artists’ colony Worpswede

where she apprenticed underthe painter and sculptor Carl-Emil Uphoff.In 1932 she immigrated to

Palestine and in that sameyear opened “HaYotzer”, the first ceramics workshop in Jerusalem.

Two years later she openedanother ceramics workshop in Rishon Le Zion, called “Kad VaSefel”

with fellow cermacist PaulaAhronson.By 1948 she had become the sole owner of “Kad Va’Sefel”

and her works – painting,drawings and sculptures – began to be shown in museums throughout Israel.

Chava’s works came into hugedemand after she became known as the designer of the“armored car stamp”

during the War ofIndependence,and the tile decorations depicting the signs of the Zodiacthat adorned

the stage of the hall thatfirst housed the Israeli Knesset. “Kad Va’Sefel” closed in 1979.Chava’sworks

are evidence of ingenuity,skill and craftsmanship as well as being testament to an important period

in history and the forging ofa new national identity.As a pioneer in the Israeli ceramics industry ofboth

useful items and a distinctlyIsraeli style, Chava’s works have become highly collectible

and fashionable in recentyears.
