Horst Göbbels (born 1939) is a German ceramicist. After training at the Obertreis ceramics and sculpture workshop from 1966 to 1968, he studied at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences from 1968 to 1973. In 1974, he opened his own studio, initially in Hinsbeck, later in Krefeld. from 1977 to 2002, he taught porcelain technology in the design department at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. His awards include the Westerwald Prize and the State Prize for Arts and Crafts of North Rhine-Westphalia.

His work is also represented in collections and museum exhibitions. Works from the Edith Stohlmann Collection are part of the Berlin Ceramics Museum and were featured there in 2021–2022 in "The Edith Stohlmann Legacy – Masterful Studio Ceramics." The Duingen Pottery Museum exhibited his ceramics in 2008–2009 in "The Beautiful Form – Three Generations of Studio Ceramics from the Fred Pubanz Collection." The Staufen Ceramics Museum dedicated a studio exhibition to him in 2007.

The three bowls offered here share a common concept in three different versions. Widely open bowl surfaces rest on slender feet; their generous rims give them considerable presence despite their compact dimensions. The side view, in particular, reveals how differently Goebbels balances the proportions of the foot, bowl, and rim.

Condition report:
Two of the three bowls are in very good, undamaged condition. The third bowl exhibits superficial glaze cracks, as documented in the corresponding close-up photograph. These cracks are not continuous and are presumably due to the production process. The cracking is limited to the glaze surface; there is no continuous crack in the ceramic body.
