They were both born in Vienna, Austria, where they began their careers absorbing the early modernist aesthetic of that city in the 1920s. The Natzlers adapted the Viennese Secessionist emphasis on the use of brightly contrasting colors in their early work such as this bowl with its chartreuse glaze.",
