Vase
This rare ceramic vase was produced in Denmark during the 1960s. The design presents an abstract geometric composition, featuring a triangular hollow column that rises from a semicircular base. Crafted from unglazed stoneware, the vase exhibits a natural earthy brown tone with subtle variations in texture. One side of the base displays a lighter, speckled surface, creating a visual contrast against the darker, raw ceramic finish of the rest of the piece.
The form reflects mid-century Scandinavian design principles, where simple geometric shapes are investigated in both functional and sculptural objects. The triangular opening suggests a restrained and precise function, suitable for holding a single stem or serving as a purely decorative accent. The handmade qualities are apparent in the organic texture and slight irregularities along the surfaces and edges, emphasizing the artisanal nature of the piece.
The vase is preserved in original condition, showing minimal wear consistent with its age. Its dimensions are 20 cm in width, 10 cm in depth, and 30 cm in height (7.9 by 3.9 by 11.8 inches), embodying a balanced blend of sculptural form and subtle functionality.
