The vase features a rounded, compressed ovoid form with pronounced vertical fluting, emphasizing rhythm and symmetry characteristic of Scandinavian Art Deco design. Finished in a warm ochre-yellow glaze with rich brown variegation and subtle speckling, the surface displays depth and tonal movement that accentuate the relief of the form. Produced during Upsala-Ekeby’s influential interwar period, this model reflects the Futurum group’s modernist approach—balancing decorative tradition with emerging functionalist ideals. The compact yet bold silhouette makes it an excellent standalone object or complementary piece within a curated ceramic or Nordic modern collection. A fine example of early 20th-century Swedish studio production, combining strong architectural presence with refined glaze work. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
