Carl-Harry Stålhane vase

Item number: 138401Category: Various
Information

This ceramic vase was designed by Carl-Harry Stålhane and produced by Rörstrand in Sweden during the 1960s. Stålhane is recognized as a key figure in Scandinavian mid-century ceramics, known for his sculptural forms and refined glazing techniques, often drawing inspiration from natural elements and organic textures.

The vase features a slender, hourglass-shaped silhouette, narrowing gracefully at the center before widening toward both the top and bottom. Its surface is coated with a semi-matte glaze exhibiting a rich blend of blue and green hues. The glaze creates a subtle, flowing texture that suggests movement and depth, characteristic of Stålhane’s later explorations into dynamic ceramic surfaces.

The piece is preserved in good vintage condition, with no visible cracks or structural damage. The variations in the glaze are deliberate, enhancing the vase’s individual character and artistic expression.

Dimensions are 5.5 cm in diameter and 20.5 cm in height (2.2 x 8.1 inches).
