Information

This rare set of 26 ceramic vases was designed by Curt Magnus Addin and produced in Sweden during the 1980s, showcasing a distinctive blend of sculptural artistry and functional design. Each vase is characterized by an angular, architectural form reminiscent of small houses or abstract buildings, lending a dynamic and expressive quality to the collection.

The surfaces are treated with earthy, textured glazes in varying shades of brown, punctuated by small window-like accents glazed in contrasting colors such as blue, green, and white. The vases vary in shape and size, with some featuring square or rectangular openings and others displaying softly rounded rims, emphasizing their handcrafted uniqueness. The glazing enhances the natural texture of the ceramic, creating a raw yet polished visual effect.

Curt Magnus Addin was recognized for his innovative approach to ceramics, merging architectural inspiration with traditional pottery techniques to create pieces that are both utilitarian and decorative. Each vase in this set reflects slight variations typical of artisanal craftsmanship.

This set exemplifies a late 20th-century Scandinavian ceramic aesthetic that values the fusion of function and sculptural form. The collection is in excellent vintage condition, retaining its original integrity with minor production-related variations that underscore its handcrafted nature.
