This impressive and highly decorative vessel showcases Gross's distinctive artistic approach, combining a bold sculptural form with an expressive hand-painted figural composition.
The vase features a generously rounded, jar-shaped body with a wide open rim, resting elegantly on a substantial circular base. Its softly colored ground is decorated in harmonious shades of light yellow, white, and green, creating a fresh yet sophisticated palette characteristic of Scandinavian mid-century design. The principal decoration depicts a dramatic hunting scene, with a group of gazelles being pursued by a human figure. The lively composition is beautifully integrated into the curved surface of the vessel, giving the scene a wonderful sense of movement and allowing the imagery to be appreciated from multiple angles.
Measuring approximately 17.75 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 10 inches deep, this vase has an impressive scale and commanding decorative presence. Its combination of large proportions, sculptural silhouette, softly colored ground, and unusual hand-painted hunting scene makes it a particularly eye-catching piece and a wonderful conversation starter. It would make a striking addition to a Scandinavian-inspired interior, while also appealing to collectors of Danish ceramics and mid-century decorative arts. The vase is signed on the underside and also bears a signature inside the rim, identifying the artist and further adding to its collectible appeal. The combination of Harald Folmer Gross's distinctive figural decoration and Knabstrup's Danish ceramic tradition makes this an especially interesting example of mid-century Scandinavian decorative porcelain.
