Standing at an impressive 25 centimeters tall with a remarkably narrow 3.5-centimeter diameter, the vase boasts a sleek, minimalist silhouette perfectly suited for displaying a single structural stem or standing alone as a refined sculptural object. The cylindrical form is defined by a striking vertical relief pattern that mimics architectural fluting or natural bamboo. A brilliant, glossy blue glaze pools deeply within the recessed channels, creating a dynamic, high-contrast effect against the lighter beige stoneware clay that shows through on the raised vertical lines. This masterful glazing technique beautifully emphasizes the vessel's verticality and underscores stålhane's renowned expertise in ceramic surface texture. The underside of the vase is imprinted with the classic rörstrand "r" and three crowns mark, "sweden," and stålhane's "chs" cipher. See less
