This refined piece features a softly lobed, bulbous body that rises gracefully into a slender neck, culminating in a delicately flared, petal-shaped rim. The form strikes a harmonious balance between organic movement and disciplined symmetry—hallmarks of Percy’s celebrated design language. The vase is finished in a luminous celadon green glaze, displaying subtle tonal variation that accentuates the vertical lobes and gently pools within the contours. The surface quality is silky and even, catching light beautifully and enhancing its sculptural presence from every angle. A fine example of Scandinavian Art Deco ceramics, this vase embodies the restrained elegance and material sensitivity for which Gefle production is known. The underside retains the original factory mark, adding authenticity and period character. A versatile decorative object, equally compelling as a standalone piece or with a single stem, well-suited to both modern and traditional interiors.
