An exquisite and rare piece of Danish Art Nouveau (Skønvirke) history: a large, four-handled stoneware vase designed by the sculptor and painter Karen Hagen in 1909 for P. Ipsen's Enke (Ipsen's Widow), Denmark.
This vase is an outstanding example of the factory's shift to producing fine stoneware after 1900. The classic Art Nouveau form is complemented by a bold and beautiful bright orange and brown matte glaze, giving the piece a rich, earthy, yet vibrant aesthetic. The unique four-handled design adds a sculptural dimension typical of the Skønvirke style.
This antique vase is a significant find for collectors of early Scandinavian Art Pottery and items with important Danish Art History provenance.
Historical Context: 
P. Ipsen's Enke (1843–1955) was a leading Danish ceramic manufacturer, initially known for unglazed terracotta before transitioning to award-winning stoneware. The factory collaborated with many prominent artists and its works are represented in museums worldwide.
