Overview

Original and early ceramic Toad stools by Stan Bitters for Hans Sumpf Co. Great yellow and brown coloring and unglazed. These stools date to the early 1960s and are still produced today.

Two stools available. Priced individually.

As a pioneer of the organic modernist craft movement in the 1960s, Bitters has been producing rough-hewn ceramic birdhouses, planters, pedestals, mural tiles, totems, boulder walls, and fountains for more than half a century. He has mesmerized architects, landscapers, and collectors from the start but was recently discovered by a hip new audience. One stool in excellent condition. The other has some professional repairs/cracks. None of which take away from the collectability or usability. A wonderful mid-century modern addition to any home garden.

Located at our Los Angeles showroom.
