Article Abstract:

Eberle's stoneware vases and porcelain containers are distinguished for their black-and-white figure illustrations. Mythical characters also pervade his work but their relationship to each other seems 'illogical' at times. The petite handles, which are totally impractical, are his comment on functional pottery.
