A magnificent and substantial example of early Scandinavian Modernism from the legendary ceramicist, Gunnar Nylund (1904-1997). This highly collectible piece belongs to the "Flambé" series, which Nylund launched shortly after joining the prestigious Rörstrand factory in Sweden (1931-1958).
The vase features a stylish round form with a single handle, a classic Art Deco silhouette. The surface is masterfully decorated, contrasting the stoneware's raw beauty with precise, luxurious detail:
Color & Glaze: The body is finished in a rich, warm brown glaze. The lower portion displays the characteristic flaming brown effect of the Flambé technique, where glazes react under high heat to create natural, flowing transitions.
Geometric Accents: The form and the intricate geometric pattern are meticulously traced with striking gold lines, a hallmark of the premium early pieces in this line. This gold outlining emphasizes the crisp Art Deco design against the organic stoneware.
 
This piece perfectly bridges the Art Deco style of the 1930s with the emerging modernist movement, making it a powerful statement of Swedish design history.
