This exceptional stoneware vase is a premier example of mid-century craftsmanship by Hans Hjorth for L. Hjorth Denmark. Produced in the 1940s on the island of Bornholm, the jar features a stunning "Marble Glaze" finish, characterized by its organic, swirling textures. The body is richly decorated with hand-painted red patterns and botanical plant motifs, a style that defines Hans Hjorth's artistic contribution to the family factory.
 
As a piece created by Hans Hjorth for L. Hjorth Denmark, this vase represents the bridge between traditional Danish pottery and modern studio art.

Hjorth" mark on the base and remains in excellent vintage condition with no chips or restorations.
