Gunnar Nylund vase

This ceramic vase, model ARZ, designed by Gunnar Nylund and produced by Rörstrand in Sweden during the 1960s, showcases a distinctive sculptural form featuring two elegantly curved peaks rising symmetrically from the body, creating a dynamic and expressive silhouette. The surface is finished in a soft green glaze with a speckled, crystalline texture that adds depth and visual interest.

Gunnar Nylund, a prominent figure in Swedish ceramics, was renowned for his organic shapes and innovative glazing techniques, often combining asymmetrical, flowing forms with functional design. His contributions at Rörstrand were central to the company’s modernist aesthetic in the mid-century era.

Rörstrand, established in 1726, is celebrated for its high-quality Scandinavian ceramics, blending decorative artistry with practical use. Nylund’s designs for the brand remain highly collectible due to their craftsmanship and artistic innovation.

The vase is in good vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age. The glaze’s natural variations highlight the handcrafted nature typical of ceramics from this period.
