Carl-Harry Stålhane vase

This ceramic vase was designed by Carl-Harry Stålhane and produced by Rörstrand in Sweden during the 1960s. It features an elongated bottle-shaped form, with a rounded lower body tapering into a slender neck. The surface is finished with a mottled glaze in deep blue-green tones, creating a textured and organic effect that enhances the vase’s visual depth.

Carl-Harry Stålhane was a leading Swedish ceramicist and designer renowned for his refined, sculptural forms and mastery of glaze techniques. As the artistic director at Rörstrand, one of Sweden’s most prestigious porcelain manufacturers, he played a significant role in defining the company’s mid-century design aesthetic. His work often reflects a subtle elegance, inspired by natural forms and modernist principles.

This vase exemplifies Scandinavian mid-century design through its balance of simplicity and material experimentation. The textured glaze adds a tactile dimension, elevating the piece beyond mere functionality to a decorative work of art.

The vase measures 12 cm in diameter and 34 cm in height (4.7 x 13.4 inches).
