Scandinavian Modern Indigo Blue Flower Motif Stoneware Vase

About the Item

This Scandinavian modern indigo blue flower motif stoneware vase, attributed to Berte Jessen of Royal Copenhagen, is a beautifully crafted piece featuring hand-painted indigo blue motifs on each side. The design depicts both large and small fantasy flowers, with the mouth rim also adorned in blue, adding to its charming aesthetic. The vase is made from high-quality stoneware with some visible brown particles, and the glaze is transparent with a faint light blue hue. A few unglazed millimeters at the bottom reveal the stoneware's natural beauty. The vase has a unique shape with flat four corners, sloping shoulders, and a widened mouth. While there are no labels or stamps underneath, the design and decor strongly resemble the work of Berte Jessen for Royal Copenhagen. A silver-colored sticker on the bottom reads: “Hand-decorated stoneware, lead and cadmium-safe decor and glaze, dishwasher safe.” ABOUT BERTE JASSEN Berte Jessen was a notable artist in Royal Copenhagen's faience and stoneware department, working under Nils Thorsson. She was among six young female artists from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden brought in by Thorsson in 1958 to create a new style that became prominent throughout the 60s and 70s. Jessen's contributions to the well-known stoneware and faience series are highly regarded.
