This Henning Nilsson Hoganas square oxblood vase is a rare departure from standard mid-century forms, showcasing the artist’s dual mastery of sculpture and chemistry. The vase features a bold, four-sided square profile, with each face adorned with a meticulously stamped peacock motif.
The glaze is a fine example of Nilsson’s experimental copper-reduction technique: a vibrant oxblood red enriched with ethereal cream-colored mottling. Finely incised lines create a formal border at both the rim and the base, framing the architectural body. Signed "H.N. Höganäs," this Henning Nilsson Hoganas square oxblood vase is a "unika" style piece that reflects the artist’s lifelong obsession with the perfect kiln fire.
