This hand-thrown piece embodies the understated elegance of Scandinavian Modern ceramics, featuring a balanced bottle form with a gently flared neck and rounded body. The vase is finished in a rich, earthy brown glaze with subtle speckling, characteristic of Wallåkra’s naturalistic studio production. Incised vertical leaf-like motifs encircle the lower body, while a band of rhythmic carved detailing at the shoulder adds depth and texture. The glaze subtly pools within the carved lines, enhancing the organic decoration and highlighting the craftsmanship. Arthur Andersson’s work at Wallåkra is celebrated for its restrained forms and harmonious proportions, reflecting the Scandinavian commitment to functional beauty and material integrity. A sculptural decorative object that works beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors.
