This beautifully balanced “Menuett” vase by Arthur Percy for Gefle Porslinsfabrik exemplifies mid-century Swedish design at its most refined. Produced between 1948 and 1957, the vase features a gently globular silhouette with a short, slightly flared neck, creating a harmonious and sculptural presence. The surface is finished in a creamy white glaze with a subtle, naturally developed crackle (crazing) that adds depth and character. Scattered across the body are small, stylized green leaves, delicately spaced to enhance the airy and understated aesthetic. Fine gilded accents highlight the rim and foot, lending a touch of elegance and contrast to the soft matte-gloss surface. Marked underneath with “Menuett,” the Gefle factory stamp, and “Made in Sweden,” this piece is a fine example of Arthur Percy’s work, known for combining modernist simplicity with decorative charm. A timeless decorative object, ideal as a standalone piece or for floral arrangements, fitting seamlessly into both classic and contemporary interiors.
